# Monitoring your GitHub AI Credits usage Learn how to monitor the AI credits you consume when using Copilot. You can track your monthly usage of AI credits to help you get the most value from your Copilot plan. How to view your usage depends on the Copilot plan you are on. ## For Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise users If you access Copilot through a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise plan, you can see your individual AI credits consumption under the Copilot settings page. 1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile picture, then click ** Copilot settings**. 2. Under **Usage**, review **Usage this cycle** to see your AI credit consumption for the current billing period. * If a user-level budget has been set, the card shows credits consumed out of your budget total (for example, "450 / 1,000 AI credits used"). * If no user-level budget applies to you, the card shows the total number of AI credits you have consumed this cycle (for example, "100 AI credits used"). ## For Copilot Individual users If you're on a Copilot Individual plan, you can see your individual AI credits consumption on the **AI usage** page, under "Billing and licensing" settings. 1. Open your billing overview page: [https://github.com/settings/billing](https://github.com/settings/billing?ref_product=github\&ref_type=engagement\&ref_style=text). 2. In the side bar, click **AI usage**. 3. Under "AI usage", you'll see: * How many **included credits** you have used—the credits bundled with your plan. * How much **additional usage** you've consumed beyond your plan's included amount. * A chart showing which **models** you've used. * A breakdown of the models used, the credits consumed per model, and the cost. > \[!NOTE] > This view is only available to users on a Copilot Individual plan. Alternatively, you can view your usage under the Copilot settings page. 1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile picture, then click ** Copilot settings**. 2. Under "Usage", you can see your AI credit consumption for the current billing period. ### Downloading a usage report For details on how to request a usage report, see [Viewing your usage of metered products and licenses](/en/billing/how-tos/products/view-productlicense-use#downloading-usage-reports). ## Viewing usage in your IDE You can view Copilot usage in certain IDEs directly.
