Question

Your enterprise purchased 500 GitHub Copilot Business seats six months ago. Leadership asks you to justify the spend and identify optimization opportunities. You need to determine which assigned seats are effectively idle so they can be reclaimed. Which approach gives you the most accurate data to make this decision?

Accepted Answer

Review the Copilot seat usage information available in the enterprise settings (and via the Copilot Billing/usage API), which reports the last activity date for each assigned seat, and reclaim seats showing no recent activity.

Answer

Open a support ticket asking GitHub to provide a report of which developers have generated the most code suggestions.

Answer

Export the enterprise audit log and count 'git.clone' and 'pull_request' events per user to infer who is actively coding with Copilot.

Answer

Survey the engineering teams by email and remove seats from anyone who does not respond within a week.
