Viewing your usage of metered products and licenses

Viewing a summary of usage

The options available to you vary according to your role and GitHub plan.

GitHub cloud:

• Anyone can view usage data for their own personal account unless their account is managed by their enterprise (EMU).
• If you are an owner or billing manager of an enterprise, or an organization on GitHub Team, you will also have access to usage data for that organization or enterprise account.

GitHub Enterprise Server:

• Enterprise owners can access and download usage data for licenses, see Downloading license use for your enterprise or organization.

Personal accounts

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

2. Use the tabbed view to see a summary of consumed use for each product that you use (in this example, the "Advanced Security" tab is shown).

   

3. Optionally, click View details to show more detailed information.

Organization and enterprise accounts

1. Navigate to your organization or enterprise. For example, from the Organizations or Enterprises pages on GitHub.com.
2. Click Billing & Licensing to display the billing and licensing overview for the account:
   • Organization accounts: under "Access" in the sidebar for settings.
   • Enterprise accounts: a separate tab at the top of the page.

Exploring usage data in more detail

You can also explore usage data for all metered products in more detail in the Usage or Metered usage view.

• Filter data on the page: click in the text box to see a list of available filters.
• Group data: options in the "Group" option vary based on the filters you define.
• Choose a time period: use the "Time Frame" option.

The metered usage chart and usage break down table both show your current choice of data.

Analyzing AI credits usage

If you use Copilot, an additional AI usage view is listed under Usage. You can use this view to dig deeper into how your enterprise is consuming AI credits and where additional spend is occurring. For example:

• What's our total AI credits consumption across all users?
• Which users are the heaviest consumers, and are they within their budget?
• Which models are driving the most spend?
• How widespread is adoption in the organizations where we rolled out Copilot?

To understand how AI credits are pooled across your enterprise and what the usage data represents, see Usage-based billing for organizations and enterprises.

Downloading usage reports

1. Visit the "Metered Usage" page to access a metered billing report for all products, or navigate to the "AI usage" page for a detailed report on AI credits consumption.
2. At the top of the page, click Get usage report.
3. Specify the report details.
4. Click Email me the report.
