📊 GitHub API Consumption Report

Report Date: 2026-07-18 · Repository: github/gh-aw · Run: #29641894872

⚠️ Partial dataset note: the logs MCP tool timed out during collection after downloading run directories to disk. This report is built from the 131 fully-materialized runs dated 2026-07-18; ~150 run directories were downloaded empty (analysis interrupted) and are excluded. Totals below are therefore a lower bound on the true 24h footprint.

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

Daily REST API consumption has held a broadly stable band around 70k–105k/day since early July, with the 7-day rolling average now sitting near 104k. The window is punctuated by three sharp isolated spikes — the largest on 2026-06-17 at ~574k (roughly 5× the baseline), plus secondary peaks on Jun 08 (~208k) and Jul 14 (~276k) that each fell back within a day, indicating one-off backfill or bulk-scan bursts rather than a sustained upward shift.

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

Over the last 30 days the heaviest quota consumers are consistently the PR review agents — Impeccable Skills Reviewer, Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, and PR Code Quality Reviewer — which track together as PR volume ebbs and flows. Smoke CI shows a spikier profile tied to CI activity, while Tidy and PR Sous Chef form a steady mid-tier. No single workflow shows a runaway growth trajectory; the mix is dominated by the same handful of review/quality agents day over day.

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

The heatmap shows consumption concentrated on weekdays, consistent with PR- and schedule-driven agents firing against active development. The single darkest cell corresponds to the mid-June spike week; weekend cells are markedly lighter, reflecting reduced PR traffic. No unexpected off-hours or weekend anomalies stand out beyond those known spike days.

---

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

The last 24h of REST API spend is moderately concentrated: the top three workflows (Impeccable Skills Reviewer, Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, PR Code Quality Reviewer) together account for roughly a third of all core quota consumed, and the top eight cover the large majority. The long tail of smoke tests and daily audits each contributes only a small slice, so optimisation attention is best focused on the review agents at the head of the distribution.

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

The top REST API consumers are the PR-review family, each in the 9k–13k range per day across ~10 runs. Even the busiest workflow (Impeccable Skills Reviewer, 13,280 calls) stays well under the 15,000/hour core limit because its usage is spread across many short runs rather than concentrated in one. The clearest optimisation lever is trimming redundant read calls in the reviewer agents — caching PR/file metadata across the review passes would meaningfully cut the top of this chart.
