GitHub Copilot App Usage Now Reflected in Per-User Metrics API Report Rollups

GitHub has expanded how Copilot app usage is represented in the Copilot usage metrics API. Previously visible only as an enterprise-wide total, Copilot app activity is now integrated into per-user breakdowns and standard report rollups.

Details

• What changed: Copilot app usage used to appear only as an enterprise-level aggregate total; it’s now folded into per-user breakdowns and existing report rollups
• Key fields and metrics added:
  • used_copilot_app: a flag indicating whether a user was active in the Copilot app on a given day
  • totals_by_copilot_app: per-user metrics including session count, request count, prompt count, and token usage
  • A new copilot_app value now appears in feature, model, and language rollups
  • Code generation and lines-of-code metrics now factor in Copilot app activity
  • daily_active_users counts now include users who were active only through the Copilot app
• Report types affected: enterprise-user, organization-user, enterprise, organization, and user reports, across both 1-day and 28-day windows
• Access requirements: Enterprise owners, billing managers, organization owners, and custom role holders with “View Copilot Metrics” permission. The Copilot usage metrics policy must be enabled
• Compatibility: Entities with no Copilot app activity simply omit the new fields, so existing integrations and data structures remain unaffected

How to try it

• Administrators who meet the access requirements above will see the expanded breakdown automatically in existing Copilot usage metrics API calls — no configuration changes are needed
• See GitHub’s official Changelog post for full field definitions and the complete list of affected reports
