Summary

GitHub updated the Copilot usage metrics API to track AI model usage from additional tools like OpenCode that were previously missed. The new totals_by_client array provides request counts, session counts, and token usage broken down by client and model across enterprise and organization reports.

What changed

  • Added a new totals_by_client array to enterprise, organization, enterprise-user, and organization-user 1-day and 28-day reports
  • Reported model usage from tools like OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Zed, Copilot CLI, and others that were not captured previously
  • Included request count, session count, token usage, and totals_by_model breakdown with selection modes

Availability

Available now

“A new totals_by_client array is available in the enterprise, organization, enterprise-user, and organization-user 1-day and 28-day reports.”

Founder takeaway

If you manage Copilot licenses for a team, check the usage metrics API reports to account for AI model usage coming from external tools and non-IDE clients.
