The Copilot usage metrics API now reports how many AI credits each user consumed per day, derived from the same AI credits consumption data used in the usage-based billing API.
What’s new
A new ai_credits_used
field is now included for each user in the user-level reports and indicates the total AI credits a user consumed. This is an overall per-user total across all of that user’s Copilot activity.
The field is available in both the single-day (`users-1-day`
) and 28-day (`users-28-day`
) user-level reports at the enterprise and organization levels.
Why this matters
Connect consumption to value:ai_credits_used
sits in the same reports you already track for usage, so you can see consumption next to the work that drove it.Understand adoption across your teams: See how AI credit usage is distributed across your enterprise or organization to recognize where Copilot is delivering the most value.Plan for usage-based billing: Monitor day-over-day consumption patterns to anticipate AI credit ranges and inform budget decisions.
- These metrics are available to enterprise administrators and organization owners who have access to
Copilot usage metricsthrough the REST API. ai_credits_used
is an overall per-user total. It is not currently broken down by feature, model, or surface.- The field is available in the user-level reports. It is a metrics signal for analyzing consumption, not a billed total—refer to billing for invoicing.
