After-hours news scanner OpenAI budget hardening (windows + dedup) — 2026-09-09

Phase 4

What changed

After-hours news scanner now runs every minute only during ET windows 16:00–23:59 and 00:00–06:44 (not 24/7).
Market hours 06:45–15:59 ET are covered by the existing Fast News pipeline — duplicate scanner removed.
After-hours classification is rules-only (zero OpenAI). Headline disk + Redis dedup still prevents repeat work; reject cache 72h; prepared headlines 7 days.
Aug 21 spike was driven mainly by 24/7 scanning, short reject cache, and Redis cache loss replay — not a single evening trigger alone.

What did not change

Fast News RTH pipeline, A+ confirmation, paper trading rules, streaming, and MP history prep behavior are unchanged.
After-hours scanner remains candidate-only — it never enters trades.
Overnight/weekend breaking news is still scanned during after-hours windows.

Email subject: MP after-hours news scanner — OpenAI budget fix summary (2026-09-09)

Hi,

Summary of the after-hours news scanner OpenAI budget fix (deployed Aug 22 ET evening):

WHAT WE FIXED
• Scanner no longer runs 24/7. It runs every minute only during ET windows 4:00pm–11:59pm and 12:00am–6:44am.
• Regular market hours (6:45am–4:00pm ET) use the existing Fast News pipeline — no duplicate scanning.
• After-hours classification is rules-only (zero OpenAI). Live Fast News OpenAI is cached per headline and paused by the spend circuit if quota is hit.

WHAT DID NOT CHANGE
• Fast News, A+ confirmation, paper trading, streaming, and MP history prep are unchanged.
• The scanner still never enters trades — it only prepares A+ history candidates.

NUMBERS — 2026-09-09 (ledger-backed)
• OpenAI calls (all day): 0
• New cadence OpenAI: 0 across 434 runs
• Zero-OpenAI new-cadence runs: 434 / 434
• Cached headline skips: 23,358
• Baseline compare (2026-09-09 spike day): 0 OpenAI calls that day
• Post-fix cadence is active on 2026-09-09.

LIVE DASHBOARD

Aug 21 context: elevated usage was mostly from 24/7 scanning plus cache replay during the Redis/disk incident — not caused by a single 7:46pm trigger alone.

Thanks,

Baseline 2026-09-09: 0 OpenAI calls. Focus day delta: 0. Post-fix cadence is active on 2026-09-09.

How to read this page: After Aug 22 deploy, new cadence runs use ET after-hours windows + disk/Redis dedup. old cadence rows are legacy 24/7 runs from before the fix. Market hours (6:45am–4pm ET) are covered by fast-news:run, not this scanner. CLI: php artisan mp:news-scanner-budget-report --date=2026-09-09
