Copilot cloud agent fields added to usage metrics

Source: GitHub Changelog

Following the Copilot coding agent to Copilot cloud agent rename, the Copilot usage metrics API now includes a new used_copilot_cloud_agent field in user‑level reports. This boolean field mirrors the existing used_copilot_coding_agent flag under the updated product name.

What’s new

The field is available in single‑day and 28‑day rolling window reports at both the enterprise and organization user levels. It returns the same value as the existing used_copilot_coding_agent field, which will be preserved for backward compatibility until August 1 2026.

Why this matters

• Integrations and dashboards can adopt the new field name to match the Copilot cloud agent branding without waiting for the legacy field to be removed.
• Both fields coexist and return the same value, so you can transition at your own pace.
• The new field appears in enterprise user and organization user reports for both 1‑day and 28‑day windows.

Important notes

• These metrics are available to enterprise administrators and organization owners who have access to Copilot usage metrics through the REST API.
• The existing used_copilot_coding_agent field continues to work and will not be deprecated until August 1 2026.
