Deprecation of beta GitHub Copilot usage API endpoint

Beginning February 2025, the beta Copilot /usage endpoints will be deprecated.
No new data will be inserted for retrieval via the beta /usage endpoints. This endpoint will be accessible through February, but the 28 day retention policy will remain.

Who’s impacted?

Enterprise organizations with Copilot licenses not yet migrated from the /usage metrics APIs are impacted by this deprecation.

What’s changing and why?

The deprecation of the beta /usage endpoints is a part of GitHub’s effort to deliver more powerful and flexible data offerings for enterprises, organizations, and teams. The new endpoints provide:

  • Visibility into the adoption and consumption of Copilot across various stages of dev lifecycle (from code suggestions to PR reviews), from the team to the enterprise level
  • Expanded scope of metrics, with the addition of GitHub.com Copilot Chat and Copilot for Pull Requests
  • Consistent terminology with the user management API
  • Better visibility into unique users at various drilldowns

Next steps

Ensure your organization is no longer consuming the now deprecated /usage endpoints in any jobs, workflows, and analytics tools.
As an alternative to the beta Copilot /usage endpoints, check out the PowerBI template and the Copilot /metrics endpoints.
