💡 Observations

• High avg-token workflows: 50 out of 56 workflows average >100K tokens per run. Notable standouts:

  • Q (~6.0M avg/run) and Daily Community Attribution Updater (~5.5M avg/run) are single-run outliers with very deep reasoning tasks.
  • Daily Syntax Error Quality Check (~4.7M avg/run) — also a single run, potentially worth investigating for prompt optimization.
  • Test Quality Sentinel (18 runs, 447K avg) is the highest-volume recurring workflow by run count.

• Error-heavy workflows (100% error rate on their runs): Daily Issues Report Generator, Daily News, Smoke Create Cross-Repo PR, Smoke Update Cross-Repo PR, GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test — these 5 workflows logged 0 usable tokens alongside failures; likely infrastructure or auth issues.

• No single workflow exceeded 30% of total tokens (threshold: ~29.1M). The top workflow "Q" accounts for 12.4% of the day's tokens.

• Day-over-day: -6.9% — a healthy drop from the 110M peak. The trend line is stabilizing around 97–104M tokens/day.
