📊 GitHub API Consumption Report

Report Date: 2026-07-24 · Repository: github/gh-aw · Run: #30089058566

i️ The MCP logs JSON-summary path hit its 300s timeout before returning an inline batch, but 256 complete run directories (each with run_summary.json + summary.json) had already been written to disk and were used as the authoritative trailing-24h dataset. continuation was null, so no paging was required. 225 empty/partial run directories from the interrupted download were excluded.

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

Total REST API consumption is trending up sharply over 30 days (↑ +46%) while holding roughly flat week-over-week (→ +4.5%). Today's 169.8K is the highest reading since early July and well above the ~107K/day 7-day average, though still far below the 574K spike on 2026-06-17. The pattern is spiky rather than steadily rising — a handful of heavy days dominate.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

The heaviest consumers are consistently the PR review-oriented workflows — PR Code Quality Reviewer, Test Quality Sentinel, and the two Skills Reviewers — which together drive most day-to-day variance. Daily totals track the number of open PRs being reviewed, so quota tends to rise with PR activity rather than with any single runaway workflow.

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

Consumption is concentrated on weekdays, with weekends noticeably lighter — consistent with PR-driven review traffic. The mid-June week stands out as the single hottest cell, matching the 574K spike, while the most recent two weeks show a broad, sustained warm band across working days.

---

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

The top consumer, PR Code Quality Reviewer (15.2K, ~9%), leads a fairly distributed field — no single workflow dominates, and the top ~7 review/PR workflows each hold a similar single-digit-percent share. Concentration risk is low; the long tail of smoke tests and daily agents collectively forms the other slice.

---

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

PR Code Quality Reviewer (15,240) nominally edges past the 15K/hr reference line, but that total is spread across 12 runs over 24h (~1,270/run), so no individual run approaches the hourly ceiling. Four workflows exceed 10K/day; the clearest optimisation lever is trimming per-review GitHub reads in the PR review workflows (caching PR file lists / diffs) since they collectively account for the bulk of quota.
