Description

We're running way too many Actions when Renovate creates a lot of PRs. Each merge causes each PR to be rebased automatically and run CI again.

Ideas:

  • set cooldown / limit to renovate PR
  • configure Renovate to bundle updates into one instead of creating 10+
  • disable autorebase - we can do it when we're ready to merge
  • disable automatic CI runs for Renovate PRs - we can allow running tests manually when the PR is ready to merge

I think the first one would be most useful - most of our dependencies are interconnected as k8s deps.

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's Renovate configuration and GitHub Actions workflows, then determine which configuration controls PR cooldown or limits. The issue presents several alternatives rather than a fixed scope; done should mean one agreed approach reduces automatic rebases and CI runs for Renovate PRs.
