Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

Missing dependency cache · CI Checks

~137 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'

Missing dependency cache · Security Scan

~49 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:

Missing dependency cache · Rebuild Dist for Dependabot

~2 min/mo

No job timeout · CI Checks

~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

Full guide: how to fix this →

Scheduled at the top of the hour · CI Checks

~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: '22 0 * * *'  # was '0 0 * * *' — any non-:00 minute avoids the herd

Full guide: how to fix this →

Scheduled workflow runs in forks · CI Checks

~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

No path filters on triggers · Install from GitHub Example

~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'

Premium runners (macOS / Windows) · Install from GitHub Example

~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
