🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

Daily REST consumption has settled into a stable 75k–105k band over the past week, with today at 85,565 calls — essentially flat versus yesterday's 87,642. The only major outlier remains 2026-07-15 (275,797 calls), flagged as a >2σ anomaly, which continues to inflate short-window averages. Outside that spike, the trend is steady with no sign of runaway growth.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

The PR-triggered review family — Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, Impeccable Skills Reviewer, PR Code Quality Reviewer, and Design Decision Gate — consistently leads consumption, each tracking closely with PR volume day to day. Tidy and PR Description Updater show spikier, lower-frequency footprints tied to burst activity rather than steady load.

---

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

Consumption concentrates on weekdays, mirroring PR and CI activity, with visibly lighter weekend cells. The mid-July week stands out with the darkest cell driven by the 07-15 spike, while surrounding weeks stay in the moderate range — no persistent hot streak beyond that single day.

---

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

The top three burners — the two Skills Reviewers and Design Decision Gate — each consume roughly 10k calls and together account for about 36% of the day's total. The top eight workflows dominate the pie, so consumption is moderately concentrated but not dangerously reliant on any single workflow.

---

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

No workflow comes close to the 15,000/hr limit — the heaviest (Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer) tops out near 10.5k spread across 11 runs, so per-run consumption is well within bounds. PR Description Updater stands out for efficiency risk: 8,122 calls over only 4 runs (~2k/run), making it the highest per-run consumer and a good candidate for caching or narrowing its GitHub queries.

📦 Cache Memory Status

• Location: /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/trending/api-consumption/history.jsonl
• Cache restored from previous run: yes (60 entries)
• Collection mode: incremental
• Logs start_date used: -1d
• Data points stored: 61
• Earliest entry: 2026-05-18

⚠️ Data collection notes

• The logs MCP call reported an HTTP timeout, but 140 run directories were successfully written to disk before the transport error and were used as the authoritative dataset (per the collection guidance). No continuation paging was performed.
• API consumption is sourced from run_summary.json → github_rate_limit_usage.core_consumed; safe-output writes from each run's summary.json → safe_outputs.total_items.
