Copilot Usage Metrics URLs Moving to GitHub Domain May 2026

TL;DR

• Copilot usage metrics report download URLs migrate from Azure Front Door to GitHub-owned domains on May 20, 2026
• GHEC customers: update allowlists to copilot-reports.github.com; GHE customers use copilot-reports.*.ghe.com
• Legacy Azure domains continue working during transition, but update your firewall/proxy rules now to avoid disruption

What Dropped

GitHub is moving Copilot usage metrics report download URLs from Azure Front Door infrastructure domains to stable, GitHub-owned custom domains. The change takes effect May 20, 2026. If your organization uses firewall or proxy allowlists, you need to add the new domains before that date.

The Dev Angle

If you're pulling Copilot usage data via the Copilot Usage Metrics API, the download URLs returned will change. For GHEC customers, the new pattern is https://copilot-reports.github.com/... instead of https://copilot-reports-*.b01.azurefd.net/.... GHE customers get https://copilot-reports.*.ghe.com/....

The old Azure Front Door domains will keep working during a transition period, but GitHub recommends updating allowlists immediately. Any automation scripts or integrations that parse or validate these URLs should be reviewed and updated before May 20.

In rare cases where Azure Front Door is unavailable, downloads may fall back to direct Azure Blob Storage URLs (*.blob.core.windows.net). If your organization requires uninterrupted access during outages, ensure that domain is also allowlisted.

Should You Care?

If you're an enterprise customer with firewall or proxy rules: Yes. Add the new domains to your allowlist now. This is a straightforward change, but missing the deadline could block report downloads after May 20.

If you're using the Copilot Usage Metrics API in automation: Check your scripts. If they validate or parse download URLs, test against the new domain pattern. Most integrations will work without changes, but hardcoded domain checks will break.

If you're on a smaller plan or not using metrics reports: This doesn't affect you.

The upside: GitHub-owned domains are more stable than infrastructure-specific Azure endpoints. You won't wake up to broken downloads because of a service redeployment. For teams managing Copilot usage metrics at scale, this is a net win.
