Copilot usage metrics reports now use GitHub-owned download URLs

May 20, 2026GitHub ChangelogView original ↗1 enhancement

As previously announced, the download URLs for Copilot usage metrics reports have migrated from Azure Front Door domains to a stable, GitHub-owned custom domain. This change improves URL stability and makes firewall and proxy allowlist management easier for enterprise customers.

What’s changed

Starting today, Copilot usage metrics report download links, which are returned by the Copilot Usage Metrics API, use the new domain copilot-reports.github.com instead of the previous copilot-reports-*.b01.azurefd.net pattern.

https://copilot-reports.*.ghe.com/...

What you need to do

If your organization uses a firewall or proxy allowlist, add the following domain:

  • github.com: https://copilot-reports.github.com
  • ghe.com: https://copilot-reports.SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com, where SUBDOMAIN is your enterprise’s dedicated subdomain on GHE.com

The legacy copilot-reports-*.b01.azurefd.net pattern will continue to work during a transition period, but will eventually be deprecated. We recommend updating your allowlists as soon as possible.

Note: In rare cases where Azure Front Door is unavailable, report downloads may fall back to direct Azure Blob Storage URLs (*.blob.core.windows.net). If your organization requires uninterrupted access to reports during such events, you should also ensure *.blob.core.windows.net is in your allowlist.

Why we made this change

The previous Azure Front Door domains were infrastructure-specific and could change when services were redeployed or reconfigured. Moving to a stable, GitHub-owned domain ensures that:

  • Report download URLs remain constant regardless of infrastructure changes.
  • Enterprise security teams have a predictable, trustworthy domain to allowlist.
  • Automation scripts and integrations are not disrupted by domain changes.
