470 completed runs over 4 days (Apr 10–13) with a 31% failure rate and $60.19 total spend — projecting ~$451/month. Immediate action needed on high-failure workflows and 100%-failing smoke tests.

⚠️ Data Note: Analysis covers a 4-day window only. Trend patterns reflect short-term behavior; monthly projections are extrapolated from this window.

Visual Summary

Cost Trends (Apr 10–13, 2026)

• Daily average: ~$15/day
• Monthly projection: ~$451 (extrapolated)
• Period total: $60.19 across 470 runs

Top Cost Drivers

Top 5 workflows account for ~56% of total cost:

Workflow	Cost (4d)	Runs	Failure Rate
Daily Community Attribution Updater	$6.41	2	50% 🟡
Q	$3.63	9	22% 🟢
Design Decision Gate	$3.59	74	24% 🟢
Daily Documentation Updater	$3.31	2	100% 🔴
Test Quality Sentinel	$3.24	74	22% 🟢

Failure Analysis

• 46 workflows have >30% failure rate
• 14 workflows have 100% failure rate (should be investigated/disabled)
• Wasted spend on failed runs: ~$18.70 (31.1% of total)

Overall Health Distribution

• ✅ Success: 62.1% (292 runs)
• ❌ Failure: 31.1% (146 runs)
• ⏸ Cancelled: 6.8% (32 runs)

Cost Reduction Opportunities

Total Wasted Spend: ~$18.70/month-equivalent (31% reduction possible)

Strategy 1: Fix or Disable 100%-Failing Workflows (~$3.51 / 4 days)

These workflows have never succeeded in this window — costing money with zero value:

Workflow	Runs	Cost (4d)	Action
Smoke Gemini	7	$0.00*	Fix Gemini auth
Smoke Create Cross-Repo PR	4	$0.00*	Fix cross-repo tokens
Smoke Update Cross-Repo PR	4	$0.00*	Fix cross-repo tokens
Daily Documentation Updater	2	$3.31	Debug—100% fail
Agentic Workflow Audit Agent	2	$0.77	Debug or disable
Copilot Session Insights	2	$0.81	Debug or disable
CI Cleaner	4	$0.64	Debug or disable
Daily Firewall Logs Collector	2	$0.76	Debug or disable
GitHub MCP Remote Server Tools Report Generator	1	$1.44	Fix MCP auth
GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test	3	$0.03	Fix MCP auth
Daily Rendering Scripts Verifier	2	$0.34	Debug or disable
Daily Issues Report Generator	2	$0.00*	Debug or disable
Daily News	1	$0.00*	Debug or disable
Artifacts Summary	1	$0.00*	Debug or disable

*Token-less runs (possibly failing at setup/activation before AI is invoked)

Action: Review each workflow's last failure logs; disable if not actively maintained.

Strategy 2: Fix High-Cost High-Failure Workflows (~$3.20 wasted / 4 days)

These high-spend workflows are failing at significant rates:

Workflow	Failure Rate	Cost (4d)	Est. Wasted
Daily Community Attribution Updater	50%	$6.41	$3.21
Smoke Claude	43%	$2.33	$1.00
Smoke Copilot	71%	$1.78	$1.27
Daily Syntax Error Quality Check	50%	$1.78	$0.89
Documentation Unbloat	50%	$1.45	$0.72

Smoke Copilot is particularly concerning — 5 out of 7 runs failed with a 71% failure rate.
Action: Investigate smoke test infra; fix or reduce run frequency until stable.

Strategy 3: Reduce Run Frequency for Stable High-Volume Workflows

These workflows run frequently and are healthy but could run less often:

Workflow	Runs (4d)	Cost (4d)	Suggestion
Design Decision Gate	74	$3.59	Event-driven only (already is?)
Test Quality Sentinel	74	$3.24	Event-driven only (already is?)
Issue Monster	25	$0.18	Check trigger frequency

These two account for ~32% of all runs. If they're event-triggered, no change needed — but verify they aren't being unnecessarily re-triggered.

Strategy 4: Address Issue Monster Failure Rate (60%)

Issue Monster ran 25 times with a 60% failure rate — 15 out of 25 runs failed.

• Cost: $0.18 (low token usage per run)
• Wasted runs: 15
• Action: Investigate why so many Issue Monster runs are failing — it may be a flaky trigger or a recurring error.

Priority Actions

1. CRITICAL — Daily Documentation Updater: 100% failure rate, $3.31 spent for zero value. Investigate last failure log immediately — this is the rejig docs #1 dollar-value waste per workflow.

2. CRITICAL — Smoke Copilot: 71% failure rate (5/7 runs failed). Smoke tests should be reliable; broken smoke tests mask real infra problems. Fix or temporarily disable.

3. HIGH — Daily Community Attribution Updater: 50% failure at $6.41/4 days = highest overall cost. Fix the failing half or schedule a diagnostic run.

4. HIGH — Audit all 14 workflows with 100% failure rate — many appear to be token-less (failing before AI invocation), suggesting infra/auth issues rather than logic errors.

5. MEDIUM — Smoke Gemini + Smoke Create/Update Cross-Repo PR (all 100% failure, zero tokens) — likely auth/token issues. Fix or disable until resolved.

Data Quality

• Period Analyzed: Apr 10–13, 2026 (4 days)
• Total Runs: 470 completed + 4 in-progress
• Workflows with data: ~90 distinct workflow names
• Confidence: Medium — 4 days is short for trend analysis; failure rates may not be representative of normal operation
• Cost methodology: Total cost ($60.19) distributed proportionally by token usage; zero-token runs assigned $0 cost but still represent wasted execution
