GitHub Copilot now shows the exact AI credits you're burning

  • See your real credit burn, not a percentage

    GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise seats now see the actual AI credits spent this billing cycle on the usage page — with an admin budget it shows used-vs-budgeted, and without one it shows your running total. If you keep hitting opaque premium-request limits, you can finally pace yourself against a real number.

  • Codex gets its 272K context window back

    OpenAI's Codex 0.144.6 (Jul 18) fixed bundled instructions for GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna and restored their full 272,000-token context inside Codex after a misconfiguration had clipped it. If your Codex agent felt like it was forgetting mid-task, upgrading the CLI is the fix.

  • Copilot code review moves behind the firewall

    GitHub added custom firewall support, custom setup steps, and independent runner configuration to Copilot code review (Jul 17), so teams on locked-down networks can run automated reviews. GitHub Mobile also gained “Fix with Copilot” straight from a review comment.

  • A usage API to chart your own Copilot adoption

    Two new endpoints (GA Jul 17) return a daily, per-repository breakdown of pull-request activity for Copilot coding agent and code review. Build your own adoption dashboards instead of guessing how heavily your team leans on the agent.
