Visible history window
Your visible history window is how much detailed GitHub Actions history ActionWatch shows for that billing account or organization. Higher plan coverage means you can see a wider recent-history window, and upgrades can unlock older already-retained data immediately when the platform still has it.
Recent ingest pressure
Recent ingest pressure describes how much fresh GitHub Actions activity is arriving relative to the included capacity of the current plan. It helps explain when a free or smaller plan is being squeezed by current usage, not just by old stored history.
When upgrade prompts appear
Upgrade prompts appear when ActionWatch believes plan limits are close enough to matter or already affecting coverage. The product tries to make those prompts timely and practical instead of surprising.
A useful mental model
Think of billing coverage as applying to the billing account or organization tied to the repositories you are watching. If one account is healthy and another is near a limit, their upgrade prompts and visible-history windows may differ.
