Yeah, why are there two, nuts! Also, why isn't this baked into GitHub itself anyway?

I don't know the full story.
I think this dashboard was created first - it was a static web app consuming GH APIs. I made some contributions to it to make it more secure, added GH Auth and backend to hide the PAT.
The thing that's nice about this app is that it's simple, but that's also the downside since it doesn't have a store to show metrics beyond the APIs 28-day limit.

We've been expecting GH to provide a built-in dashboard but that hasn't happened yet.
In the meantime, other solutions popped up, including PowerBI dashboard, Cosmos based solution and Grafana/Elastic solution that I also contributed to https://github.com/[satomic/copilot-usage-advanced-dashboard](https://github.com/satomic/copilot-usage-advanced-dashboard)

I'm also maintaining https://copilot-metrics.net/ as hosted option.

Each option has it's pros and cons - dependency on either cosmos DB, powerBI, lack of storage or cost (for elastic search).

Neither solution is officially supported as far as I know.
