Analysis of 313 workflow runs across 80 distinct workflows from Feb 21–23, 2026. Total cost: $104.69 (2-day window). The biggest issue is Issue Monster (66 runs, 100% failure rate) consuming substantial compute with zero value delivered.

⚠️ Data Window: 2 days of data (Feb 21–23). Monthly projections are extrapolated — treat as directional estimates.

Visual Summary

Cost Trends (Last 2 Days)

Key Insights:

• Total spend: $104.69 over 2 days → ~$1,570/month run rate
• 36 of 313 runs have cost data (others are non-AI infrastructure jobs)
• Highest single-workflow cost: $15.92 (Go Logger Enhancement)

Top Cost Drivers

Top 5 workflows account for ~48% of total cost:

Rank	Workflow	Cost (2d)	Status
1	Go Logger Enhancement	$15.92	⚠️ 50% failure
2	Instructions Janitor	$11.43	✅ Healthy
3	Documentation Unbloat	$8.68	✅ Healthy
4	Developer Documentation Consolidator	$7.99	✅ Healthy
5	Schema Consistency Checker	$6.26	✅ Healthy

Failure Analysis

Critical: 5 workflows with >30% failure rate — 3 at 100% failure

• Issue Monster: 66 runs, 100% failure — largest single waste source
• PR Triage Agent: 7 runs, 100% failure
• Daily Issues Report Generator: 2 runs, 100% failure

Overall Health

• ✅ Success: 66.5% (208 runs)
• ❌ Failure: 29.7% (93 runs)
• ⏸️ Cancelled: 3.5% (11 runs)

💰 Cost Reduction Opportunities

Estimated Monthly Savings: ~$312–$450/month (20–29% reduction)

Strategy 1: Disable 100%-Failure Workflows — ~$200+/month

Three workflows have never succeeded in the observed window and are burning compute:

Workflow	Runs	Failure Rate	Action
Issue Monster	66	100%	Disable immediately — triggers frequently, all fail
PR Triage Agent	7	100%	Disable or fix — consistent failures
Daily Issues Report Generator	2	100%	Fix or disable
Daily Rendering Scripts Verifier	1	100%	Investigate
Organization Health Report	1	100%	Investigate

Issue Monster alone ran 66 times in 2 days — if it has any AI cost per run, disabling it would be the single highest-impact action. Even at $0.50/run its 2-day compute waste is $33 → ~$500/month.

Fix: In each workflow's .md file, either correct the underlying error or add the disabled: true frontmatter field until fixed.

Strategy 2: Reduce High-Cost Workflow Frequency — ~$100/month

Several expensive workflows ran 2–3 times in 2 days (triggered by workflow_dispatch or schedule):

Workflow	2d Cost	Avg/Run	Runs	Recommendation
Go Logger Enhancement	$15.92	$7.96	2	One-time task? Consider removing after completion
Instructions Janitor	$11.43	$5.72	2	Weekly cadence sufficient
Documentation Unbloat	$8.68	$4.34	2	Weekly cadence sufficient
Developer Docs Consolidator	$7.99	$4.00	2	Weekly cadence sufficient

If documentation-maintenance workflows (Unbloat, Consolidator, Daily Doc Updater) are set to daily, reducing to weekly would save 3/4 of their cost ≈ **$90/month** combined.

Fix (example for documentation-unbloat.md):

# Before
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * *'   # daily

# After
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * 0'   # weekly (Sunday)

Strategy 3: Fix 50%-Failure Workflows — Recover $4–8/month each

Workflow	Failure Rate	Estimated Wasted Cost
Go Logger Enhancement	50%	~$7.96 of $15.92 total
Daily Malicious Code Scan Agent	50%	Low (no cost data)
Documentation Noob Tester	50%	Low (no cost data)
GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test	50%	Low (no cost data)

Action: Review error logs for each workflow. The error_count field in run data will point to the specific step failing.

🎯 Priority Actions

1. CRITICAL — Disable Issue Monster immediately. It ran 66× in 2 days with 100% failure. Even with minimal per-run cost this is the highest-volume waste. Check .github/workflows/issue-monster.md for the trigger configuration causing excessive runs.

2. HIGH — Fix or disable PR Triage Agent (7 runs, 100% failure). Check recent run logs for the root error — likely an authentication or permissions issue.

3. HIGH — Reduce schedule frequency for documentation maintenance workflows (documentation-unbloat.md, developer-documentation-consolidator.md) from daily → weekly. Saves ~$90/month.

4. MEDIUM — Audit Go Logger Enhancement (50% failure, $15.92 total) — determine if this is a one-time task that should be removed from schedule after completion.

📈 Data Quality

• Period Analyzed: Feb 21–23, 2026 (2-day snapshot)
• Total Runs: 313 across 80 distinct workflows
• Runs with Cost Data: 36 (11.5%) — cost data only available for AI-engine runs
• Confidence: Medium — patterns are clear (100% failure workflows, high-volume triggers) but monthly projections are extrapolated from 2 days
