Availability

  • Plan mode telemetry is included as part of the broader Copilot usage metrics experience. Please ensure Copilot usage metrics is enabled for the enterprise or organization.
  • Telemetry is supported for JetBrains, Eclipse, Xcode, and VS Code Insiders at the enterprise, organization, and user level. General release for VS Code is expected soon.
  • Within the API response, usage will be denoted by chat_panel_plan_mode under the keys totals_by_feature, totals_by_language_feature, and totals_by_model_feature.
  • Within the dashboard UI, view plan mode breakdowns for request and model usage under Insights > Copilot usage.

Important note

Telemetry for plan mode used to be mixed in with “Custom”. Now that it’s properly broken out, you may see a dip in “Custom” usage. This may affect dashboard charts like “Requests per chat mode” and “Model usage per chat mode”.
