Expired GitHub Actions artifacts no longer shown in UI and API

By Steven Van ·

GitHub Actions run summaries and the REST API now hide expired artifacts instead of showing a leftover "Expired" pill.

Expired artifacts no longer appear when viewing run data in GitHub Actions. Previously an expired artifact stayed visible with an "Expired" pill even after its files had been deleted from storage, which left some users unsure whether they were still being billed for storage that no longer existed. Expired artifacts are now hidden from a workflow run's summary page and from the list artifacts and get an artifact REST API endpoints; the run's logs still show which artifacts it produced. Retention settings and billing are unchanged, only the display.
