Legacy GitHub Copilot API migration

The Usage tab in the GitHub Copilot adoption report is being upgraded due to GitHub deprecating the APIs that power it.

Why is this happening?

GitHub is closing down its legacy Copilot metrics APIs as part of a transition to newer usage metrics endpoints. The legacy Copilot Metrics API — which provides aggregated usage data such as acceptance rates, language breakdowns, and model usage - is being discontinued on April 2nd, 2026.

The replacement Copilot usage metrics APIs are available to all organizations and provide improved usage tracking.

How do I switch to the new APIs?

If you use the GitHub Copilot Metrics connector: There is no change. All associated data will continue to be available for your organization, as the enterprise connector already uses the new APIs.

If you do not use the GitHub Copilot Metrics connector: You can either create a standalone GitHub Copilot Metrics connector (org-level) for Copilot-only data, or add the “Organization Copilot metrics (read)” permission to your existing GitHub connector to collect Copilot metrics through it.

In both cases, ensure that your Copilot metrics API access policy is set to Enabled everywhere. Without this policy enabled, DX will not be able to import your Copilot data.

What happens to my existing data?

No data is being deleted. All legacy usage data that was previously collected will remain in DX and is accessible via Data Studio.
