Today at a Glance

Metric	Value
🤖 Total Runs	108 (93 ✅ / 14 ❌)
🎯 Success Rate	86.1%
🔗 GitHub REST API Calls	2411 (core quota consumed — includes reads, writes, and all GitHub API operations)
📝 Safe-Output Writes	80 (issues + PRs + comments + discussions created by safe-output tools)
⏱ Avg Duration	606s (p95: 1582s)

i️ Today was a low-API-consumption day — run volume (108 runs) is in line with recent days, but per-run REST usage was unusually light. See the trend chart below for context.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

REST API consumption swings widely day to day, oscillating around a ~50k/day baseline. The standout is Jun 09 (207,880 calls), flagged as a >2σ anomaly — roughly 4× the 30-day rolling average. Today's 2411 calls sit well below the band, marking the quietest day in the recorded window.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

A handful of workflows dominate quota over the trailing 30 days, with consumption concentrated in scheduled high-frequency jobs (Smoke CI, PR Sous Chef) and periodic heavy analysers. Day-to-day spikes are typically driven by a single workflow having an outsized run rather than broad increases across the fleet.

---

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

The weekday × ISO-week heatmap shows consumption is fairly evenly spread across weekdays, with no strong weekend dip — consistent with schedule-driven automation rather than human activity. The brightest cell aligns with the Jun 09 spike; surrounding cells are comparatively muted.

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

PR Description Updater alone accounts for 32% (765 calls) of today's REST quota in a single run, followed by AI Moderator (14%, 336 calls across 10 runs). The top 3 workflows consume over half the daily total — a moderate concentration worth watching but not yet a quota risk given the low absolute volume.

---

🔗 GitHub REST API Consumption by Workflow (last 24h)

The top consumer (PR Description Updater) used 765 core calls in one run; no workflow came close to the 15,000/hr core limit today. The single-run, high-call profile of PR Description Updater is the clearest optimisation candidate — worth checking whether its description-generation loop is making redundant reads.

• 30-day API trend: ↑ +18.3% vs. prior 14 days (14d-vs-14d proxy — only 28 days of history available)

📦 Cache Memory Status

• Location: /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/trending/api-consumption/history.jsonl
• Cache restored from previous run: yes (27 existing entries)
• Collection mode: backfill (history had <30 entries)
• Logs start_date used: -90d attempted (timed out mid-download), completed via -1d retry
• Data points stored: 28
• Earliest entry: 2026-05-18
• Retention policy: 90 days

⚠️ Data Collection Notes

• The initial -90d backfill download timed out at the MCP layer; a follow-up -1d collection completed and captured 108 runs with valid run_summary.json for today.
• A small number of run directories (42) lacked a parseable run_summary.json (incomplete artifact download) and were excluded — today's totals may be a slight undercount.
• The pre-existing 5/25 gap in history was not backfilled because the 90-day window did not complete.
