Copilot usage API separates BYOK, with telemetry gaps to watch
New BYOK and custom-model breakdowns leave totals unchanged; the enterprise-model flag is not backfilled.
GitHub announced new bring-your-own-key (BYOK) and enterprise custom-model breakdowns in Copilot usage API reports on November 3. Enterprise and organization reports cover users and aggregates; existing totals remain unchanged.
Local BYOK reporting covers Copilot CLI and the Copilot app. Disabled client telemetry causes undercounting; missing provider token reports can also understate tokens. Enterprise custom models are tracked server-side across clients, including IDEs. The new enterprise-model flag is absent from pre-release reports.
Access requires appropriate administrative or metrics-viewing permissions and an enabled usage-metrics policy. Check provider charges separately. The announcement gives no separate price for these new metrics, and local computing can still incur costs.
This updates API reports; matching web-dashboard and mobile-interface changes are unconfirmed. HK, Macau and Taiwan eligibility, Traditional Chinese/Cantonese interfaces and exact activation time remain unconfirmed. Checked November 4 UTC; not product-tested. Restrict access to individual reports and reconcile bills rather than treating incomplete metrics as complete costs.
