Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

No concurrency control · CI

~354 min/mo · ≈$2/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Add a `concurrency:` block keyed on branch to cancel superseded runs when devs push twice quickly.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

Workflow runs on both push and pull_request · CI

~347 min/mo · ≈$2/mo

Pushing to a branch and opening a PR triggers two runs. Pick one (usually `pull_request`) and exclude branch pushes for non-default branches.

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:

Also found: 7 more config fixes with negligible recoverable minutes — timeouts, retention, path filters

No job timeout · CI

~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

No path filters on triggers · CI

~0 min/mo

Runs on every push/PR with no `paths:` filter, so docs-only changes still trigger full CI. Add a `paths:` filter if that's common.

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'src/**'
      - 'package.json'

Full guide: how to fix this →

Cache without restore-keys · CI

~0 min/mo

The cache restores only on an exact key match, so any lockfile change means a full cold download. Add a `restore-keys:` prefix line for partial restores.

    key: deps-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/<lockfile>') }}
    restore-keys: |
      deps-${{ runner.os }}-

Full-history clone (fetch-depth: 0) · CI

~0 min/mo

checkout fetches the entire git history every run (`fetch-depth: 0`) and nothing in the workflow appears to read it. Remove the line — the default shallow clone is much faster on big repos. Keep it if a step genuinely needs history.

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
  # fetch-depth: 0 removed — default shallow clone is enough here

No path filters on triggers · Scenario

~0 min/mo

Runs on every push/PR with no `paths:` filter, so docs-only changes still trigger full CI. Add a `paths:` filter if that's common.

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'src/**'
      - 'package.json'

Scheduled at the top of the hour · Scenario

~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: '8 4 * * *'  # was '0 4 * * *' — any non-:00 minute avoids the herd

Full guide: how to fix this →

Scheduled workflow runs in forks · Scenario

~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
