Overview

Period: 2026-05-01T22:00Z to 2026-05-02T10:29Z (~12.5 hours)
Runs analyzed: 50 (38 had token data)
Total tokens: 5,390K (~5.4M) across all workflows
Estimated total cost: $0.00 (cost tracking via AWF api-proxy; USD cost not yet reported)
Total Actions minutes: 302 min
Total errors: 29 across all runs

Token consumption is down ~44% vs the previous report (9,542K on 2026-05-01), with 12 failed/cancelled runs producing zero tokens accounting for most of the reduction.

Workflow Summary

Sorted by total tokens (cost not available):

🔍 Optimization Opportunities

  1. Dependency Security Monitor — 556K tokens in a single run

    • Highest single-run token count; review whether prompt/context can be trimmed
    • Only runs once, so monitoring the trend is key
  2. Issue Duplication Detector — 212K tokens/run, 2 turns

    • Relatively high for a single-purpose workflow; consider reducing the number of issues fetched per scan
  3. Build Test Suite — avg 180K tokens/run

    • 5 of 8 runs had zero tokens (failures/cancellations early in the period); the successful runs average ~480K — review whether the test suite prompt can be scoped more narrowly
  4. High error rate — Smoke Services (7/9 errors), Smoke Copilot (6/11), Smoke Copilot BYOK (5/9), Smoke Chroot (5/8), Build Test Suite (6/8)

    • Most errors appear clustered in runs between 23:49–00:26 UTC, suggesting an infrastructure incident rather than individual workflow issues

Smoke Chroot

Workflows Without Token Data

The following workflows had runs with token_usage = 0 or null — these are either early failures (before the agent started) or infrastructure-level cancellations:

  • Daily Copilot Token Usage Analyzer — 1 run, currently in progress (this run)
  • Smoke Copilot BYOK — 4 runs failed before agent started
  • Smoke Copilot — 4 runs failed before agent started
  • Smoke Services — 3 runs cancelled/failed before agent started
  • Build Test Suite — 4 runs failed before agent started
  • Smoke Chroot — 3 runs cancelled/failed before agent started

These are not instrumentation gaps — the failures occurred before any LLM inference was invoked.

Historical Trend

Date Runs Total Tokens Notes
2026-04-29 Baseline
2026-04-30 ~8,496K Prior report
2026-05-01 50 ~9,542K +12% vs prev
2026-05-02 50 ~5,390K -44% vs prev

The sharp drop is primarily due to many failed/cancelled runs (29 errors, ~12 zero-token runs) between ~23:49–00:26 UTC suggesting an infrastructure incident. Successful run token counts are consistent with prior periods.
