Research direction

Start by tracing the HeartBeatAvailabilityTest function and the Scheduled LogicApp references in the repository, then compare their configured schedules with the reported execution counts. No files or tests are named; done means identifying why the repeated executions occur and documenting a verified mitigation for the excess Azure consumption.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Via the HeartBeatAvailabilityTest function multiple sub-functions are called every 5 minutes.

We have Scheduled LogicApp disabled and Scheduled Logic app is called once per day but at the end of the day we have more than 1000 (up to 1270) function executions per day.
While consuming around 350MB (billed as 512) sums to 3500 GBs / day.

Why is this needed and how can we mitigate this?
