📊 GitHub API Consumption Report

Report Date: 2026-08-27 · Repository: github/gh-aw · Run: #33081714579

⚠️ Partial dataset notice: Log collection hit the MCP logs tool's count limit after 2 continuation calls (the maximum allowed). The collected 256 run directories (240 with usable run_summary.json) span only ~12 hours (2026-08-27T01:51 UTC → 14:13 UTC), not a full prior day or the requested 90-day backfill window. All "today" figures below reflect this partial window, not a full 24h period. Trending charts also remain sparse (9 data points across the last 14 days) because most prior days in the retention window have no corresponding history entry.

Today at a Glance (partial ~12h window)

Metric	Value
🤖 Total Runs	240 (214 ✅ / 26 ❌)
🎯 Success Rate	89.17%
🔗 GitHub REST API Calls	194,716 (core quota consumed — includes reads, writes, and all GitHub API operations)
📝 Safe-Output Writes	324 (issues + PRs + comments + discussions created by safe-output tools)
⏱ Avg Duration	563.5s (p95: 1110.0s)

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (available history)

Only 9 dated entries exist across 2026-08-14 to 2026-08-27, with visible gaps (08-16–08-18, 08-21, 08-24 have no data). The highest single-day total in this history is 2026-08-15 (398,195 calls) and 2026-08-23 (290,274 calls); 2026-08-27's partial-window total of 194,716 is already the third-highest despite covering only ~12h, suggesting the full day's consumption would likely exceed prior peaks.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend

Per-workflow breakdowns are only available for 3 of the 9 history days (2026-08-14, 08-26, 08-27), so this is a thin trend. Where data exists, Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, Impeccable Skills Reviewer, Ponytail Reviewer, and PR Code Quality Reviewer dominate — all new/large consumers appearing on 2026-08-27 that weren't previously tracked, which may reflect newly added or recently active workflows rather than an organic trend.

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap

Rendered as a date-strip (not a day-of-week grid) since only 9 sparse points exist — a calendar grid would be mostly empty and misleading. The strip makes the multi-day gaps and the 08-15/08-23/08-27 spikes visually obvious without implying data for missing dates.

---

🍩 Top API Burners (partial ~12h window)

The top 5 workflows (Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer, Impeccable Skills Reviewer, Design Decision Gate, Ponytail Reviewer, PR Code Quality Reviewer) account for roughly 66% of all REST API quota consumed in this window, each running 15–17 times. This concentration is largely PR-review-style workflows that likely fire on every PR event — a meaningful concentration risk if PR volume spikes.

---

🔗 GitHub REST API Consumption by Workflow (partial ~12h window)

Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer (27,965 calls / 17 runs ≈ 1,645/run) and Impeccable Skills Reviewer (26,362 / 16 ≈ 1,648/run) lead consumption. None of these workflows individually approach the 15,000/hour rate limit, but their combined per-PR review fan-out (5+ reviewer-style workflows firing on the same PR events) is worth watching if concurrent PR activity increases.

Trending Indicators

• 7-day API trend: ↓ -28.9% vs. previous 7 days (based on only 5 dated data points in the recent window and 4 in the prior window — low confidence given sparse history)
• 30-day API trend: → insufficient data (no history entries beyond 2026-08-14, so a full prior 30-day comparison window is unavailable)
• GitHub REST API call rate: ~117,756 calls/day average across the 5 dated entries in the last 7 calendar days (hourly limit: 15,000) — note this is a per-dated-entry average, not a true daily rate, since several days have no recorded entry
