Today at a Glance

Metric	Value
🤖 Total Runs	50 (9 ✅ / 3 ❌ / 34 ⏭ skipped)
🎯 Success Rate	18.0% overall · 75% of non-skipped runs
🔗 GitHub REST API Calls	1,856 (core quota consumed — includes reads, writes, and all GitHub API operations)
📝 Safe-Output Writes	25 (issues + PRs + comments + discussions created by safe-output tools)
⏱ Avg Duration	74s (p95: 648s)

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

Today's REST API consumption (1,856 calls) sits well below the recent peak of 17,997 on April 9th. The 8-day history reveals high day-to-day variance, driven by which heavy-duty research and analysis workflows trigger on a given day. The 7-day rolling average highlights the mid-week spike pattern and today's quieter schedule.

---

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

Test Quality Sentinel and Design Decision Gate are the most consistent API consumers over the observed period, together accounting for the bulk of quota when they run. The Daily DIFC Integrity-Filtered Events Analyzer produced the single largest spike (5,232 calls on April 9), underscoring that deep-research and audit workflows are the primary quota drivers.

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

Note: Fewer than 14 history data points are available, so a bar chart of today's top workflows is shown as a fallback. The calendar heatmap will activate once 14+ days of data are recorded.

Today's top API consumers are Test Quality Sentinel (671) and Design Decision Gate (558), with all other workflows consuming under 165 calls. Overall consumption is light today compared to the weekly peak.

---

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

Test Quality Sentinel (36.1%) and Design Decision Gate (30.1%) together consumed two-thirds of today's REST API quota. Both workflows perform multi-PR and multi-issue traversals which naturally amplify GitHub API usage. The remaining third is spread across smoke tests and daily integrators, indicating low concentration risk with no single runaway workflow.

---

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

All workflows today are comfortably below the 15k/hr GitHub REST API limit — the top consumer, Test Quality Sentinel, used just 671 calls (4.5% of the hourly budget). There are no optimisation-urgent cases today, though Test Quality Sentinel and Design Decision Gate's 5–10x higher consumption vs. other workflows warrants monitoring as run frequency scales.
