Look into frequent stale warnings #48

Description

@joverlee521

I've been seeing more stale warnings on the status page over the last couple weeks. This seems to be caused by two issues

  1. Long delays in scheduled GH Action workflows as discussed in Unexpected delay in scheduled GitHub Actions workflows using cron #156282
  2. Failed jobs because they hit our 10min timeout.

Can't do anything about [1], but we could look into [2] to make sure that the jobs that do run can complete successfully.

Potential solutions

  1. Short-term: Increase timeout-minutes to 15? 20?
  2. Long-term: look into speeding up the job. - One thought is there are the number of workflows will keep growing and is potentially slowing down the materialized view creations. We could revisit this TODO
    /* XXX TODO: Push created_at into the GitHub API call. The API can
    * handle created timesetamp¹ with operators = <> > >= < <=.² This
    * would avoid a bunch of pagination requests for the list call.
