Weekly rhythm

Weekly rhythm shows whether workflow activity is continuing through the week without reducing recent activity to a single total.

How to read it

The chart always shows Monday through Sunday. Reached weekdays represent all workflow runs from the current week, regardless of status or conclusion. Future weekdays use the matching count from the previous week, so they do not appear as misleading zeroes.

Use the pattern to notice a change in cadence. It does not explain why activity rose or fell, and it does not distinguish failures or measure output quality.

Data it uses

overview-rhythm reads started-at from retained runs across a 15-day window. Dashboard Language converts those records into seven calendar-week points and counts every run, including failed, cancelled, skipped, and in-flight runs with a recorded start time.

Malformed or unavailable rhythm data renders a stable seven-day empty state instead of changing the component’s shape.

When to investigate

Open Runs when the current cadence differs unexpectedly from the previous week. Check failures, queued work, and rollout mode before treating a quiet period as an operational problem.
