I’d like to request a feature that exposes the number of credits used in GitHub Copilot Chat sessions within Visual Studio Code.
As a GitHub Copilot Enterprise user, I currently don’t have a clear way to understand how many credits I’ve used while working in chat. The only option I currently have is to check the number of credits consumed at the end of a chat. There seems to be no way to access this data programmatically (for example through an API surface). This makes it difficult to track usage, understand consumption patterns, and manage usage expectations over time.
Requested behavior
Please add a way to access programmatically credit usage in Visual Studio Code for Copilot Chat. For example, APIs could expose:
- Credits used for the current chat session
- Credits used per prompt or response
- A running total for the current day, week, or month.
Why this would help
For Enterprise users especially, usage transparency is important because:
- we may not have direct visibility into consumption during normal development workflows
- it helps us better understand how our Copilot usage maps to our plan
- it would improve trust and predictability when using chat heavily
- it would help teams and users make more informed decisions about usage
Suggested outcome
Even a simple usage indicator or link to live credit consumption from within VS Code would be very valuable.
Many thanks in advance.
