Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

Missing dependency cache · Coverage Zips Sync (Tableau Extract + Salesforce)

~157 min/mo · ≈$1/mo

Set `cache: 'npm'` on your `actions/setup-node` step, or add an `actions/cache@v4` step keyed on your lockfile.

- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: 20
    cache: 'npm'

No concurrency control · Salesforce Account Extraction

~16 min/mo

Add a `concurrency:` block keyed on branch to cancel superseded runs when devs push twice quickly.

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

Missing dependency cache · Campaign Group Sync

~14 min/mo

Set `cache: 'npm'` on your `actions/setup-node` step, or add an `actions/cache@v4` step keyed on your lockfile.

- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: 20
    cache: 'npm'

Also found: 4 more config fixes with negligible recoverable minutes: timeouts, retention, path filters

No job timeout · Campaign Group Sync

~0 min/mo

No job sets `timeout-minutes`, so a hung step can run to GitHub's 6-hour default. Add `timeout-minutes` to each job.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 15

Scheduled workflow runs in forks · Campaign Group Sync

~0 min/mo

The schedule has no repository guard, so forks that enable Actions inherit the cron and burn their own minutes. Gate the job with `if: github.repository == 'owner/repo'`.

jobs:
  nightly:
    if: github.repository == 'owner/repo'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

Scheduled at the top of the hour · Coverage Zips Sync (Tableau Extract + Salesforce)

~0 min/mo

The schedule fires at minute :00, GitHub's peak window, where scheduled runs get delayed or skipped. Shift to any other minute for the same cadence with less contention.

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '10 */4 * * *'  # was '0 */4 * * *' — any non-:00 minute avoids the herd

Frequent scheduled runs · Salesforce Account Extraction

~0 min/mo

A schedule cron fires >4x/hour, so scheduled runs cost minutes around the clock. Loosen the cadence.

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '*/30 * * * *'  # every 30 min instead of every minute
