<p>Starting in 2025 May, some people were getting messages that "no runners" were available to perform their build. (Remember, this is a <strong>free</strong> service we are using.)

Initially, all builds started at the "top of the hour" (HH:00), but it turns out that is when <em><abbrtitle="an online service for storing repositories, accessible from a browser">GitHub</abbr></em> has the most activity.
4165
4176
In an attempt to minimize build failures due to resource limitations, the minute of the hour for all the apps is gradually being shifted.</p>
4177
+
<p>When the first of the month and Wednesday came on the same day, there were many failed builds. This triggered us to redesign the timing. The new design is for only one run of a build action per week, on Sunday, and inside that build action there is logic to decide if it is the second Sunday of the month. If so, the build is always run and not skipped.</p>

<p>Even if an app doesn't have automatic certificates implemented yet, they are added to the table as suggested values to use when this capability gets added. All times are <abbrtitle="Coordinated Universal Time is a time standard for civil time and time zones worldwide">UTC</abbr>. If other apps decide to add this feature, please make a pull request to LoopDocs so we can add those times to the deconfliction table.</p>
