Preview/feature branch accumulating compute with no expiry
Part of the Cost & ops health check · fix arrives as a guide
What it is
A preview or feature branch is accumulating compute usage with no expiry set.
Why it matters
Branches created for work that has since finished stay indefinitely, and each keeps starting compute whenever something connects. The cost is spread across many small branches rather than one obvious line.
How to fix it
Set an expiry when creating preview branches so cleanup is automatic, and delete the ones tied to closed pull requests now. A branch tied to a merged PR has no reason to outlive it.
