+### Limitations
 
-Activity and authentication data are retained for a rolling 90-day period, consistent with the `last_activity_at` field.
+There is a possibility that {% data variables.product.github %} lacks consistent telemetry from some third party IDEs outside of VS Code (such as JetBrains and Xcode). Users should ensure they're running the latest version of their IDE.
+
+The activity report may exclude usage of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} features that are not yet generally available (GA). Currently, the following features are not fully recorded:
+
+* {% data variables.copilot.copilot_spaces %}
+* Copilot Spark
