Today at a Glance

Metric	Value
🤖 Total Runs	81 (43 ✅ / 38 ❌)
🎯 Success Rate	53.1%
🔗 GitHub REST API Calls	14,302 (core quota consumed — includes reads, writes, and all GitHub API operations)
📝 Safe-Output Writes	15 (issues + PRs + comments + discussions created by safe-output tools)
⏱ Avg Duration	238s (p95: 1,087s)

🔗 GitHub API Calls Trend (90 days)

📎 Chart: GitHub API Calls Trend — artifact api_calls_trend.png

Today's 14,302 REST API calls represent a sharp spike (+127%) compared to the 5-day prior average of ~6,293 calls/day, driven primarily by Copilot Token Usage Optimizer (4,862) and the Agentic Workflow Audit Agent (2,271). The overall trend shows high day-to-day volatility — April 9 saw a peak of 17,997 calls — likely tied to large research or audit workflow runs. No consistent baseline has been established yet across the 6-day history window.

🔗 GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend (30 days)

📎 Chart: GitHub API Calls by Workflow Trend — artifact workflow_api_trend.png

The top API consumers over the tracked window are consistently the research and audit-style workflows: Copilot Token Usage Optimizer, Agentic Workflow Audit Agent, and Copilot CLI Deep Research Agent each intermittently dominate on days they run. Lighter-weight workflows (Design Decision Gate, Test Quality Sentinel, Contribution Check) show moderate but consistent multi-run API consumption. With only 6 days of history, emerging trends are preliminary — patterns will sharpen over the coming weeks.

🔗 GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap (90 days)

📎 Chart: GitHub REST API Calls Heatmap — artifact api_heatmap.png

With fewer than 14 history points, the heatmap fallback chart shows today's top workflows ranked by REST API consumption. The heatmap will transition to a full calendar view once at least 14 data points have been collected (approximately 2 weeks of daily runs). April 9 and April 12 are the highest-consumption days observed so far.

🍩 Top API Burners (24h)

📎 Chart: Top API Burners — artifact api_burners_donut.png

Copilot Token Usage Optimizer alone accounts for 34.0% (4,862 calls) of today's total REST API quota, making it the single largest consumer. The top 4 workflows (Copilot Token Usage Optimizer, Agentic Workflow Audit Agent, Copilot CLI Deep Research Agent, Step Name Alignment) collectively consumed 77.0% of the day's quota (11,092 of 14,302 calls). This high concentration risk means any increase in run frequency for these workflows would rapidly approach hourly quota limits.

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

📎 Chart: GitHub REST API Consumption by Workflow — artifact api_by_workflow.png

Copilot Token Usage Optimizer (4,862), Agentic Workflow Audit Agent (2,271), and Copilot CLI Deep Research Agent (2,204) are the top three REST API consumers today, each exceeding 2,000 calls in a single run. No single workflow breached the 15,000/hr hourly limit today, but if multiple heavy workflows trigger concurrently, the combined 14,302 total is within striking distance of a full hourly quota. Optimization opportunity: paginated list calls and redundant PR reads in audit workflows are likely the primary drivers of high quota consumption.
