GitHub Copilot app usage now visible in metrics API
GitHub Copilot app activity is now reported in the enterprise and organization usage metrics API. This change provides administrators with visibility into the app's adoption and consumption alongside other Copilot metrics. The update includes new fields for daily active users and detailed breakdowns of session counts, requests, and token usage, aiding in understanding the app's impact. These new fields will appear in 1-day and 28-day reports and will be null for organizations with no Copilot app activity.

Enhancements (1) ›
- New fields provide detailed Copilot app usage breakdown
Two new fields, `daily_active_copilot_app_users` and `totals_by_copilot_app`, are now available. The latter offers a breakdown of session count, request count, and token usage, including output tokens, prompt tokens, and average tokens per request.
Notes (1) ›
- Usage metrics are separated for clarity
GitHub Copilot app usage is reported in its own `totals_by_copilot_app` section, distinct from generic feature, model, language, and lines-of-code metrics. This ensures clear reporting for administrators.
