# Changes to query results in the GitHub Actions API and UI

Markdown version of <https://harbyn.com/changes/github/2026-09-25-changes-to-query-results-in-the-github-actions-api-and-ui>.

Breaking change - GitHub. medium severity. In effect.

Workflow run queries in the GitHub Actions API and UI filtered by workflow, event, status, branch or actor now report 2,500+ instead of an exact count when more than 2,500 runs match; pagination still returns up to 1,000 items. Integrations that need more than 2,500 matching runs should narrow their filters, for example with a date range.
