Monitoring your GitHub AI Credits usage

Learn how to monitor the AI credits you consume when using Copilot.

In this article

You can track your monthly usage of AI credits to help you get the most value from your Copilot plan. How to view your usage depends on the Copilot plan you are on.

For Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise users

If you access Copilot through a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise plan, you can see your individual AI credits consumption under the Copilot settings page.

  1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile picture, then click Copilot settings.
  2. Under Usage, review Usage this cycle to see your AI credit consumption for the current billing period.
    • If a user-level budget has been set, the card shows credits consumed out of your budget total (for example, "450 / 1,000 AI credits used").
    • If no user-level budget applies to you, the card shows the total number of AI credits you have consumed this cycle (for example, "100 AI credits used").

For Copilot Individual users

If you're on a Copilot Individual plan, you can see your individual AI credits consumption on the AI usage page, under "Billing and licensing" settings.

  1. Open your billing overview page: https://github.com/settings/billing.

  2. In the side bar, click AI usage.

  3. Under "AI usage", you'll see:

    • How many included credits you have used—the credits bundled with your plan.
    • How much additional usage you've consumed beyond your plan's included amount.
    • A chart showing which models you've used.
    • A breakdown of the models used, the credits consumed per model, and the cost.

Note

This view is only available to users on a Copilot Individual plan.

Alternatively, you can view your usage under the Copilot settings page.

  1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile picture, then click Copilot settings.
  2. Under "Usage", you can see your AI credit consumption for the current billing period.
