📈 Token Usage & Cost Trends

Historical Token Consumption

Token usage shows a downward trend from the February peaks (~237M tokens on 2026-02-11) to the current 90M. Today's run count of 101 is the second lowest on record, down from a peak of 378 runs.

Estimated Daily Cost Trends

⚠️ Note: Cost values in earlier history entries used different pricing models, resulting in visible inconsistencies. Today's estimate ($271.11) uses the current $3.00/1M token model consistently.

💡 Insights & Recommendations

High-Cost Workflows

The top 3 single-run workflows each consumed 5.5M+ tokens ($16+ each):

1. Daily Syntax Error Quality Check — 5.6M tokens in a single run

   • 🔍 Observation: Large codebase scan with 1 turn suggests heavy context loading (probably scanning all Go files). At 18.7 minutes, this is near the timeout limit.
   • ✅ Recommendation: Consider incremental scanning (changed files only) or filtering to high-risk paths to reduce context size by potentially 50-70%.

2. Daily Community Attribution Updater — 5.6M tokens, 116 turns

   • 🔍 Observation: The extremely high turn count (116!) indicates a multi-iteration loop processing many contributors. This is the highest-turn workflow in today's run.
   • ✅ Recommendation: Batch contributor processing rather than individual turns. Consider summarizing contributor data before passing to the agent.

3. jsweep - JavaScript Unbloater — 5.5M tokens in 22.8 minutes

   • 🔍 Observation: Large JS codebase analysis with 1 turn. High per-run cost suggests full-repo scan.
   • ✅ Recommendation: Scope to recently modified files or run only when JS files change.

Optimization Opportunities (Detailed)

High Turn Count Workflows

Workflows with many turns consume tokens for each agent iteration:

Workflow	Avg Turns	Potential Savings
Daily Community Attribution Updater	116	Batch processing → 80-90% reduction
Smoke Multi PR	89	Parallel smoke tests → consolidate runs
Dead Code Removal Agent	56	Incremental scanning → 40-60% reduction
Documentation Noob Tester	51	Selective doc testing → 30-50% reduction
Daily Testify Uber Super Expert	54	Targeted file scanning → 30-40% reduction

High-Frequency Workflows (Accumulate Cost Over Time)

These run many times and add up:

Workflow	Runs	Total Tokens	Avg/Run	Action
Issue Monster	18	4.5M	248K	✅ Already efficient per-run
Auto-Triage Issues	16	5.4M	338K	Consider rate-limiting or batching
Agent Container Smoke Test	9	1.4M	158K	✅ Efficient per-run
Contribution Check	6	5.4M	902K	Largest frequent consumer — review scope

Historical Comparison

Date	Total Tokens	Runs	Est. Cost	Tokens/Run
2026-01-15	94,899,840	178	~$285	533K
2026-01-22	101,969,175	239	~$306	427K
2026-01-28	200,676,032	281	~$602	714K
2026-02-11	237,834,034	378	~$713	629K
2026-02-19	119,326,605	83	~$358	1,437K
2026-02-20	166,507,574	195	~$500	854K
2026-04-02	90,369,806	101	~$271	895K

Trend: Token volume is significantly down from the February peak. The Feb-11 peak of 237M tokens represented the highest consumption. Today's 90M is the second-lowest recorded, suggesting either fewer workflows running or more efficient runs. The avg tokens/run of 895K remains relatively high.

Methodology & Data Quality Notes

Methodology

• Data Source: Pre-downloaded GitHub Actions workflow run audit logs (/tmp/gh-aw/copilot-logs.json)
• Engine Filter: Copilot engine workflows only
• Runs Analyzed: 101 runs with token data (34 runs had no token data — in-progress or not tracked)
• Cost Model: $3.00 per 1M tokens (approximate claude-sonnet average; actual costs vary by model mix and cache usage)
• Memory Storage: /tmp/gh-aw/repo-memory/default/memory/token-metrics/history.jsonl
• Historical Records: 7 days of trend data spanning 2026-01-15 to 2026-04-02
• Analysis Timestamp: 2026-04-02T11:34 UTC

Data Quality Notes

• Cost estimates are approximate; the raw data had total_cost: 0 — costs are estimated from token counts
• Earlier history entries used different cost models causing visible inconsistencies in cost charts
• 34 of 135 runs had no token usage data (likely in-progress or non-Copilot runs)
• The Daily Copilot Token Consumption Report run itself (in-progress) is excluded from stats
