Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

Workflow runs on both push and pull_request · Tests

~17 min/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:

Concurrency without cancel-in-progress · Lock Threads

~14 min/mo

Concurrency group has no `cancel-in-progress: true`, so superseded runs queue instead of cancelling. Add it to supersede stale runs.

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

Also found: 8 more config fixes with negligible recoverable minutes: timeouts, retention, path filters

No job timeout · Backport

~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 job timeout · Tests

~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 · Tests

~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'

Large build matrix · Tests

~0 min/mo

The matrix expands to many parallel jobs per run, multiplying billable minutes, often more combos than you need. Trim the axes, or use `include:` to list only the combinations that matter.

strategy:
  fail-fast: true
  matrix:
    include:
      - { os: ubuntu-latest, node: 20 }
      - { os: ubuntu-latest, node: 22 }

Premium runners (macOS / Windows) · Tests

~0 min/mo

macOS bills ~10x and Windows ~2x a Linux minute. The cost estimate above assumes Linux, so your real spend is higher. Move any job that doesn't need them to `ubuntu-latest`.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest  # ~10x cheaper than macos-latest

No job timeout · Lock Threads

~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.

  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

Scheduled at the top of the hour · Lock Threads

~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: '45 0 * * *'  # was '0 0 * * *' — any non-:00 minute avoids the herd

Full guide: how to fix this →

Scheduled workflow runs in forks · Lock Threads

~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
