I had an interesting email come in about billing. GitHub thinks I owe them money...cents on the dollar but still $$. I am on the free tier on GitHub and have been the past 15+ years.
Up til recently, ive had no bills and im not an admin on any org. It looks like all my GitHub actions on my repos are accruing billing now. None of these repos are private. So im not 100% why this is occurring.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something im missing here?
I dont have that option. Its for work.
Sounds like your bosses bill, not yours.
Its on my account. I have hundreds of repos over my career. I switched a majority of them over but there is some major projects that use the repos for open source. One has been downloaded over 1.7 million times (im trying not to sound like a humble brag) If I remove them, it could potentially cause downtime. I just disabled all github actions and other things that could potentially cause billing.
If it has been downloaded over 1.7 million times you need to contact Github about this, since it is an open source project that people are depending on, and discuss your github action usage with them and determine a path forward for continuing to use github actions
The repositories that contain code that is for work need to be owned by your work, not your personal account. Have your work create a github organization and transfer your repos to their org.
