Automated excerpt
Queries for workflow runs in the GitHub Actions API and UI now return a less precise but more accurate count of records when you search by workflow, event, status, branch, or actor. However, if the number of found records exceeds 2,500, we will report “2,500+” instead of attempting to return the exact number of records. This is because queries that retrieve more than 2,500 records frequently timeout and return the number of records found before the timeout rather than the true count.
