GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions schedules can run late or not at all. Watch them.

Under load, GitHub Actions may delay or drop a scheduled run. In a public repository, scheduled workflows are automatically disabled after 60 days without activity. Tickwatch helps detect a missing expected run even when the workflow never started.
