[ai-credits-cluster] AI Credits Exhaustion Cluster — 2026-06-11: 4 workflows failing

[github-actions]

Overview

The max-ai-credits guardrail continues to block analysis-heavy workflows on 2026-06-11. This is the third consecutive day of AI credits exhaustion failures (prior tracker #38119 closed). Four workflows failed today with credits exhaustion.

Affected Workflows — June 11

Workflow	Issue	Error	Type
Code Simplifier	#38499	Used 1K/1K max (over by 14.4)	max-ai-credits 1K
Ubuntu Actions Image Analyzer	#38500	Used 1K/1K max (over by 16.8)	max-ai-credits 1K
Workflow Skill Extractor	#38501	Used 1K/1K max (over by 25.1)	max-ai-credits 1K
Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer	#38497	24h AIC 5.1K > 5K daily limit	24h AIC guardrail

Root Cause

Workflows with max-ai-credits: 1000 in their frontmatter are exceeding the limit when analysis tasks require more tokens. The Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer is additionally hitting the daily 5K AIC rolling-window budget.

Recommended Fixes

1. Increase per-workflow credits: Raise max-ai-credits from 1000 to 2000 for the 3 analysis-heavy workflows (Code Simplifier, Ubuntu Analyzer, Skill Extractor)
2. Review daily budget: Investigate whether Matt Pocock daily budget of 5K is sufficient or if the workflow runs too frequently
3. Systemic fix: Consider tiered credits config based on workflow complexity class

Previous Tracker

Prior AI credits cluster tracker: #38119 (CLOSED). This is a new daily re-occurrence of the same systemic pattern.

Impact

Low-to-medium impact on analysis quality. These workflows provide code insights, doc analysis, and skill extraction — valuable but non-critical. No cascading failures detected.
