📊 GitHub API Consumption Report

Report Date: 2026-07-17 · Repository: github/gh-aw · Run: #29575919558

⚠️ Partial dataset: Log collection via the logs MCP tool timed out after 120s (start_date=-1d, incremental mode). 109 fully-downloaded run directories from 2026-07-17 (05:59–10:50 UTC) were used as the authoritative dataset per the collection guidance. Today's totals therefore reflect the morning window only and undercount a full 24h.

Today at a Glance

Metric	Value
🤖 Total Runs	109 (89 ✅ / 20 ❌)
🎯 Success Rate	81.7%
🔗 GitHub REST API Calls	91,806 (core quota consumed — includes reads, writes, and all GitHub API operations)
📝 Safe-Output Writes	163 (issues + PRs + comments + discussions created by safe-output tools)
⏱ Avg Duration	687s (p95: 1423s)

i️ Safe-output source note: run_summary.json's authoritative SafeItemsCount field is unpopulated (returns 0) across every run in this CLI version — the same gap that drove the 07-15 and 07-16 history entries to 0. Today's value falls back to summary.json → safe_outputs.total_items (actuated items), restoring a meaningful count.

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

Core-quota consumption swings widely day to day (from ~16k on light days to a 276k spike on 07-15), but the 7-day rolling average has climbed to ~102k/day. The 07-15 peak stands out as a clear anomaly — more than 3× the surrounding baseline — while the 30-day average line stays comparatively flat, indicating the recent lift is short-term rather than structural.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

Smoke CI is the consistent top consumer, spiking on high-activity days when many PRs trigger CI. The cluster of skills/quality reviewers (Impeccable Skills Reviewer, Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, PR Code Quality Reviewer, Test Quality Sentinel) forms a persistent mid-tier band, each tracking PR volume closely. No new workflow has broken into the top consumers over the last 30 days.

---

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

Weekday consumption dominates, with the heaviest cells landing mid-week when PR and CI activity peaks; weekends stay comparatively cool. The single hottest cell corresponds to the 07-15 spike week. No sustained weekend anomaly is visible — consumption tracks the working rhythm of the repo.

---

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

Smoke CI alone accounts for 23.6% of today's REST API quota, and the top 3 workflows together consume 42.0% — a meaningful concentration in CI and skills-review workflows. The long tail of ~50 workflows splits the remainder thinly, so optimisation effort is best focused on the handful of heavy hitters.

---

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

The top REST API consumers are Smoke CI (21,629), Impeccable Skills Reviewer (8,650) and Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer (8,316). All per-workflow daily totals remain well under the 15,000-calls/hour REST limit (Smoke CI's 21,629 is spread across 12 runs over the day). Smoke CI is the clearest optimisation target — batching or caching CI status reads would cut its footprint most.
