As of the October 23, 2026 Changelog entry, GitHub adds `totals_by_client` so you can see which clients drive Copilot model traffic. Each entry names a `client`, with `request_count`, `session_count`, `token_usage`, and a `totals_by_model` breakdown that can mark whether the model was `user_selected`, `auto`, or `product_selected`.
Clients listed in the note include `opencode`, `claude_code`, `codex`, `zed`, `copilot_cli`, `github_app`, `cloud_agent`, `code_review`, `vscode`, and `jetbrains`. Unrecognized clients group under `other`. The field complements `totals_by_ide`: it counts successful model requests on the server, so tools that never sent IDE telemetry can still show up. It is not the same as agent-app job counts.
Access stays with enterprise owners and billing managers, organization owners, and custom roles that grant `View Copilot Metrics`, and the Copilot usage metrics policy must be enabled. `request_count` counts model calls, not prompts—one prompt can trigger several calls.

As for how the new array looks in your org’s live reports, whether every third-party client identifies itself correctly, and how the numbers line up with your finance dashboards—we don’t have that information yet. If you’ve tried it, you can send feedback through the site-owner contact link in the footer. A Changelog field is not a guarantee that every external tool will appear under the name you expect.
