📊 GitHub API Consumption Report

Today at a Glance

Metric	Value
🤖 Total Runs	184 (164 ✅ / 20 ❌)
🎯 Success Rate	89.1%
🔗 GitHub REST API Calls	96,930 (core quota consumed — includes reads, writes, and all GitHub API operations)
📝 Safe-Output Writes	288 (issues + PRs + comments + discussions created by safe-output tools)
⏱ Avg Duration	535s (p95: 1044s)

⚠️ Coverage note: This is an incremental collection. The initial logs(-1d) call plus 2 continuation calls (the 2nd required a retry after a formatting timeout) covered 2026-07-10 15:52 → 2026-07-11 10:52 UTC. The continuation limit (2) was reached with older pages still available, so the pre-15:52 tail of 07-10 was not re-fetched — but today's (07-11) window is complete through 10:52. 183/184 runs reported core_consumed.

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

The 7-day rolling average has climbed sharply as PR-review and skills-reviewer workflows ramped up, but the daily series is highly volatile — days range from ~1.1k calls (06-30, only 12 runs) to a 574k spike (06-17). Today's 96.9k sits above the 90-day mean (~61.6k) yet well below the 07-04/07-05/07-08 peaks. Much of the swing reflects varying partial-collection window sizes and daily run-count changes rather than a pure per-run efficiency shift.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

The PR-quality cluster — Impeccable Skills Reviewer, Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, PR Code Quality Reviewer, and Design Decision Gate — consistently tops per-workflow consumption, alongside Smoke CI. These review agents each run many times per day (13–14 runs today) and dominate the trend lines; no single new workflow has emerged as an outlier consumer in the last 30 days.

---

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

The heatmap shows consumption concentrated on weekdays, tracking PR activity, with lighter weekend cells. The hottest cells align with early-July high-run days (07-04, 07-05, 07-08). The 2026-07-09 gap (only sparse late-night runs, no entry recorded) appears as an empty cell and remains a known hole in the series.

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

The top 3 workflows — Smoke CI (11.8k), Impeccable Skills Reviewer (10.2k), and Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer (10.2k) — together consume 33.3% of today's 96.9k core quota. Consumption is fairly distributed across the top 8 review/CI workflows rather than concentrated in one, which lowers single-workflow throttling risk.

---

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

The heaviest consumers are the PR-review agents and Smoke CI, each in the 7k–12k range across 10–14 runs (~800–1.2k per run). No individual run approached the 15,000/hr core limit, so there is headroom. Optimisation opportunities: cache repeated git/gh reads within the skills-reviewer agents and consolidate redundant PR metadata fetches in the review cluster.

Trending Indicators

• 7-day API trend: ↑ +158.8% vs. previous 7 days (inflated by collection-window variance and the 07-04/05/08 run-count spikes — interpret with caution)
• 30-day API trend: → insufficient data (need 60 daily points for a full 30d-vs-prior-30d comparison; 52 recorded, 07-09 gap)
• GitHub REST API call rate: ~104,204 calls/day over last 7 days (per-run hourly limit: 15,000 — no run observed near the cap)
