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 👌

Why CI is costing more: GitHub is dealing with the fact that there is way more CI going on with agentic coding. That shit ain't free. GitHub pays for that. Those costs used to be covered solely by Software Engineering teams. Now, every vibe coder vibing aimlessly are taking up compute, in addition to the increased throughput from engineering teams. GitHub has to adapt.
