AI credits consumed per user now in the Copilot usage metrics API

Overview

The Copilot usage metrics API now reports how many AI credits each user consumed per day, derived from the same AI credits consumption data used in the usage-based billing API.

What’s new

A new ai_credits_used field is now included for each user in the user-level reports and indicates the total AI credits a user consumed. This is an overall per-user total across all of that user’s Copilot activity.

Details

The field is available in both the single-day (users-1-day) and 28-day (users-28-day) user-level reports at the enterprise and organization levels.

Why this matters

Connect consumption to value: ai_credits_used sits in the same reports you already track for usage, so you can see consumption next to the work that drove it.
Understand adoption across your teams: See how AI credit usage is distributed across your enterprise or organization to recognize where Copilot is delivering the most value.
Plan for usage-based billing: Monitor day-over-day consumption patterns to anticipate AI credit ranges and inform budget decisions.

Important notes

These metrics are available to enterprise administrators and organization owners who have access to Copilot usage metrics through the REST API.
ai_credits_used is an overall per-user total. It is not currently broken down by feature, model, or surface.
The field is available in the user-level reports. It is a metrics signal for analyzing consumption, not a billed total—refer to billing for invoicing.
