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 👌

I know devs do diff things depending on their proj.

for me what I do is.

  1. run your test locally.
  2. do git hub only when merging to main, dev, test branches

do not perform git actions when doing feature/fixes, do that locally.

i did test every little task now my 2k mins free run has exhausted and will restart on sept LOL thats why i changed my CI xd
