Where the minutes go (30d)
Waste detected
Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.
No concurrency control · Inactive Issue Pinger
Add a `concurrency:` block keyed on branch to cancel superseded runs when devs push twice quickly.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: trueAlso found: 5 more config fixes with negligible recoverable minutes — timeouts, retention, path filters
No path filters on triggers · Lint CI
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.

pull_request:
paths:
- 'src/**'
- 'package.json'Scheduled workflow runs in forks · Security audit
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-latestFull-history clone (fetch-depth: 0) · Security audit
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 hereNo job timeout · Inactive Issue Pinger
No job sets `timeout-minutes`, so a hung step can run to GitHub's 6-hour default. Add `timeout-minutes` to each job.
