Following the launch of Copilot code review active and passive user identification, enterprise and organization usage reports in the Copilot usage metrics API now include aggregated active and passive user counts for Copilot code review.

Six new fields are available in both 1‑day and 28‑day reports at the enterprise and organization levels:

FieldDescription
daily_active_copilot_code_review_usersActive users who used Copilot code review on that day
daily_passive_copilot_code_review_usersPassive users who used Copilot code review on that day
weekly_active_copilot_code_review_usersActive users who used Copilot code review in the trailing 7‑day window
weekly_passive_copilot_code_review_usersPassive users who used Copilot code review in the trailing 7‑day window
monthly_active_copilot_code_review_usersActive users who used Copilot code review in the trailing 28‑day window
monthly_passive_copilot_code_review_usersPassive users who used Copilot code review in the trailing 28‑day window

Active users are those who manually requested a Copilot code review or applied a Copilot suggestion. Passive users are those whose reviews were auto‑triggered by a repository or organization policy, with no active signal in the same period. When a user has both active and passive signals, they are counted as active only—active always trumps passive.

Why this matters

  • Distinguish adoption drivers – Separate intentional Copilot code review adoption from policy‑driven, auto‑triggered usage.
  • Compare engagement across time windows – Daily, weekly, and monthly counts let you track active and passive adoption trends and measure the impact of rollout efforts.
  • Make informed rollout decisions – Use the active‑versus‑passive breakdown to guide Copilot code review policies and investment.
