Cap the Heavy Run So the Shared Pool Stays Fair

One long or expensive run in a shared pool can take the concurrency, call budget or connection slots that every other run depends on, so the others queue behind a neighbour that never asked for the whole pool. This skill covers noisy neighbour isolation for agent workers: give every run a bounded share enforced whether or not the pool is busy, separate batch work from interactive work so the slower shape does not set everyone's latency, find the neighbour by per-run attribution rather than pool-wide averages, and accept the idle capacity the bound costs.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "pool usage" --trigger "/pool" --source "AWS Production" --message "Show the share of the pool each run currently holds, attributed to the run identifier, so a single heavy neighbour is a row that can be pointed at rather than a suspicion."

$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Over Share" --group-by "run" --window "10m" --action "Alert when a single run holds more than its share of the pool, because the runs behind it are waiting on one neighbour rather than on their own work"

$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Enforce Share" --condition "run.share_used > share.cap" --action "Hold the run within its share instead of admitting further work, whether or not the pool is otherwise idle, so the bound still holds when the pool clears" --approval "auto" --notify "#ops-info" --max-runs "30 per day" --cooldown "5m"

$ openclaw runbook add --name "Isolate a Heavy Run" --trigger "/runbook isolate" --tags "automation,fairness" --steps "Attribute cost and duration per run. Identify the outlier. Compare its share with the cap. Hold it within the cap. Review whether batch and interactive work should share a queue at all."

Cap the Heavy Run So the Shared Pool Stays Fair

# Cap the heavy run so the pool stays fair One long or expensive run in a shared pool can take the concurrency, the call budget or the connection slots that every other run depends on. The other runs do not fail for their own reasons. They wait behind a neighbour that never asked for the whole pool
