Holy s***

That's more expensive than an m8i.large.

What on earth.

That's actually $90/month, that's kind of crazy.

I realise 100% utilisation isn't realistic, but that still sounds very expensive when you're already BYOB.

It's worse than unrealistic. It's ludicrous. Any company running more than an hour of actions workflows per week on GitHub can afford a few dollars a month for infrastructure. The per-minute charge is less than the cost of a millisecond of engineering labor time.

Monorepo, though Gitlab, self-hosted runner, 41 hours in the last week.

Tell me that $20/month is a notable amount of expense for your business spending 41 hours per week on workflows. Go on.

		Dude why are you so determined to defend this pricing change? You're all over this thread arguing with people that it's not a big deal. If it's a big deal to them, why do you give a shit? It's not like it's your problem if people take their business elsewhere for a poor reason.

This increases our CI compute costs by 30%.

We'd be at roughly $700/month at current usage.
