Quick answer
Open the Copilot tool window or the status bar item in your JetBrains IDE and choose the account or usage entry. The plugin shows your plan and links to GitHub for the balance. Per-model detail and history are only in the GitHub account or organization report.
Find the usage entry
- Open the Copilot tool window from the right sidebar.
- Select the account or plan entry.
- Follow the link to GitHub for the balance.
- Confirm the signed-in account matches the one with the subscription.
Menu placement varies by plugin version. If you cannot find it, use the IDE search for Copilot and open the settings page.

If you switch between JetBrains and VS Code, checking two menus is friction. UsageAtlas shows the reported Copilot figure once, alongside Codex, Claude Code, and other tools.
Copilot in JetBrains IDEs
The JetBrains plugin shares the same account allowance as VS Code. Usage made in one IDE appears in the same GitHub quota, so checking only the editor you are in gives a partial picture.
- Sign in with the same GitHub account you use elsewhere.
- Open the plugin's account or usage action.
- Confirm the figure on the GitHub settings page.
- Remember that agent features may lag behind VS Code.
UsageAtlas shows the reported account quota once, regardless of which IDE spent it. See remaining credits for the reading order.
