[What’s new](#whats-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](#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. [Important notes](#important-notes) - These metrics are available to enterprise administrators and organization owners who have access to [Copilot usage metrics](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/copilot-usage-metrics)through 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.
