GitHub Copilot app usage metrics now expand across report rollups

GitHub has expanded Copilot app usage metrics across its API, now attributing individual Copilot app activity to users in enterprise-user and organization-user reports and breaking out coding activity in feature, model, and language rollups. The update adds fields like used_copilot_app, totals_by_copilot_app with session and token counts, and includes Copilot app activity in code generation, lines-of-code, and daily_active_users metrics, enabling administrators to identify adopters and measure code output. These changes are available to enterprise owners, billing managers, and organization owners with the View Copilot Metrics permission, and are backward compatible.

Image: GitHub Changelog

Copilot app usage is now reported across much more of the Copilot usage metrics API.

Individual Copilot app activity is now attributed to users in the enterprise-user and organization-user reports. In addition, Copilot app coding activity is now broken out in the feature, model, and language rollups alongside every other Copilot surface.

This builds on the earlier release that brought the Copilot app into the usage metrics API with enterprise-level Copilot app totals.

What’s new : Whether a user was active in the Copilot app on a given day.used_copilot_app

: A per-user section reportingtotals_by_copilot_app

session_count

,request_count

,prompt_count

, and atoken_usage

breakdown ofoutput_tokens_sum

,prompt_tokens_sum

, andavg_tokens_per_request

.: Copilot app activity now appears incopilot_app

feature valuetotals_by_feature

,totals_by_model_feature

,totals_by_language_feature

, andtotals_by_language_model

, so you can see which models and languages Copilot app work happens in.Code activity and lines-of-code metrics: Top-level code generation, code acceptance, lines added, and lines deleted totals now include Copilot app activity.: Now counts users who were only active in the Copilot app.daily_active_users

Why this matters Copilot app usage was previously only visible as a standalone enterprise and organization-level total, so you could see that the Copilot app was being used but not who was using it or what it produced. With Copilot app activity attributed to individual users and folded into the standard breakdowns, you can identify your Copilot app adopters, and measure the code the Copilot app generates.

You can also compare the Copilot app against the IDE, chat, code review, and coding agent surfaces using the same fields you already consume.

Important notes used_copilot_app

and the user-leveltotals_by_copilot_app

section are available in the enterprise-user and organization-user 1-day and 28-day reports. Thecopilot_app

feature value and the code activity, lines-of-code, anddaily_active_users

changes apply to the enterprise, organization, and user reports for both the 1-day and 28-day windows.- These metrics are available to enterprise owners and billing managers, organization owners, and anyone with a custom organization or enterprise role that grants the View Copilot Metrics permission. The Copilot usage metrics policy must be enabled.

  • The changes are backward compatible. Users and entities with no Copilot app activity omit totals_by_copilot_app

and produce nocopilot_app

breakdown entries, and existing fields keep their current shape.
