🔖 Feature description

The Backstage Copilot plugin should be updated to fetch metrics from the new GitHub Copilot Usage Metrics API instead of the legacy Copilot Metrics API.

Specifically, the plugin should replace usage of the legacy endpoint with the new API so that Copilot usage and metrics continue to function without interruption after the legacy API is deprecated.

🎤 Context

The Copilot plugin currently relies on the Copilot Metrics API to retrieve usage metrics:

• Legacy API: https://docs.github.com/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/copilot/copilot-metrics?apiVersion=2022-11-28

According to GitHub’s announcement, this API will be sunset on April 2, 2026

GitHub has introduced a replacement endpoint:

• New API: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/copilot/copilot-usage-metrics?apiVersion=2022-11-28

Once the legacy API is retired, the Copilot plugin will no longer be able to fetch metrics unless it is migrated to the new endpoint

Hi @Chris-Lee-Ca, I'm confused, isn't this the opposite of what we had to do a year ago? #2828

It is different. The new endpoint is under the /metrics/reports path, not /usage
