Enterprise and organization administrators can now download a new GitHub Copilot activity report that provides enhanced visibility into user authentication and feature adoption. This report improves upon the legacy usage report with more timely and comprehensive data.

What’s new

The activity report introduces several improvements:

  • Authentication tracking: The new last_authenticated_at field shows when users last authenticated with Copilot.
  • Enhanced surface details: last_surface_used now provides specific IDE versions and github.com feature names.
  • Improved data freshness: Reports refresh every 30 minutes instead of daily.
  • Comprehensive coverage: Includes all generally available Copilot features across IDEs, github.com, the CLI, and mobile.

For more information on the contents of the report, see Metrics data properties for GitHub Copilot in our documentation.

Key benefits

  • Better license management: Monitor actual Copilot usage with authentication timestamps.
  • Adoption insights: Track usage of Copilot.
  • Timely data: Updated on an interval of up to 30 minutes.
  • 90-day retention: Historical data is retained for 90 days.

Access locations

The activity report is available via CSV download on the settings pages on github.com to Enterprise and Organization admins by following the steps below:

  • For Enterprise administrators, Your enterprise → Policies → Copilot → Access
  • For organization owners, Your organization → Settings → Copilot → Access
  • For Enterprise teams, Billing & Licensing → Licensing → Manage Seats

Important timeline

The legacy usage report will be sunset over a 90-day period, ending October 23, 2025. We recommend transitioning to the new activity report to ensure uninterrupted access to usage insights.
