On most nights the upstream data hasn&rsquo;t changed since the last run. The job doesn&rsquo;t know that, so it downloads and parses everything, reruns every transform and writes the same report again. If the API bills per call, or one step takes twenty minutes, you pay for the same answer every night.</p>
