# Per-model token breakdown in the usage report

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub has added a per-model token breakdown to the AI usage report in Copilot. Admins and individual users can now see input, output, cache read, and cache write tokens for each model alongside the AI credits consumed. This makes it easier to trace costs, explain charges to stakeholders, and identify ways to reduce spending. The feature is available to Copilot Business, Copilot Enterprise, and individual Copilot users via the AI usage page in billing settings.

## Questions this post answers

### What does the GitHub Copilot AI usage report show for each model now?

The Copilot AI usage report now shows a per-model breakdown of input, output, cache read, and cache write tokens alongside the AI credits consumed by each model. Previously only AI credits were shown without token-level detail, making it difficult to explain charges or find cost-reduction opportunities. The breakdown is downloadable from the AI usage page in billing settings.

_Teams tracking Copilot spend model by model will find the latest billing changes covered on daily.dev._

### Who can access the per-model token breakdown in the GitHub Copilot usage report?

The per-model token breakdown is available to admins on Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans, and to all users on Copilot for individuals. It can be accessed by downloading the AI usage report from the AI usage page in billing settings.

_Developers managing Copilot costs across plans can follow GitHub billing updates on daily.dev._
