Research direction
Start with the failed traffic-stats.yml workflow run and verify that TRAFFIC_TOKEN has the required access. Set the replacement secret with gh secret set, then rerun traffic-stats.yml and confirm that traffic data collection succeeds.

Description
The scheduled Collect Traffic Data workflow failed on 2026-07-22.
Traffic data has stopped being captured. Because GitHub only retains a rolling
14-day traffic window, every day this stays broken is data lost permanently.
Most likely cause: the TRAFFIC_TOKEN secret has expired or lost access.
The traffic API requires a PAT with push / administration:read on this repo — the
built-in GITHUB_TOKEN cannot read traffic.
Fix:
- Create a new PAT (classic
reposcope, or fine-grained: Administration read + Contents R/W + Pull requests R/W). gh secret set TRAFFIC_TOKEN --repo microsoft/FastTrack --body "<NEW_PAT>"- Re-run:
gh workflow run traffic-stats.yml --repo microsoft/FastTrack
