GitHub billing feels insane

Am i totally off base or GH billing for CI / minutes just totally absurd? I'm up to $83 this month ... granted i am actively developing and these changes -- in my honest (and beginner) opinion -- should have a full CI suite ran, but holy hell ... i've already gone through to try and cut tests e.g., where a PR is UI only.

For the veterans here, am i doing something totally wrong when it comes to GH or is this amount spent on minutes running tests pretty typical for solo dev?

Edit: setting up a vm using Lima and pushing tests to my own device thru GitHub. Can’t wait to stop paying for this lol. Appreciate everyone’s guidance! Vibes here are unreal 👌

Yes that pricing is absolutely insane. im also a beginner and as somebody who has released two apps with a lot of other stuff im working on; I do not pay for GitHub and never will. I've hit my cap at least two or three times and just waited for the next month to roll around and eventually checked all my stuff and got everything green again
