It would not surprise me if they are going to shift to Plan B sometime soon, because this isn't working. They can't keep provisioning hardware resources in perpetuity to keep up with volume that the AI is pummeling them at. I think most other repo providers have either experienced downtime and/or have locked themselves up to prevent the onslaught.

It is impressive they've been able to keep going, but this is a regular denial-of-service attack at this point, nonstop and relentless.

They have plenty of levers to pull.

For example, GitHub can reduce/eliminate free GitHub Action minutes.

Or just cap concurrent jobs for free users from 20 to 2 or 1… lots of levers, their inaction is sad to see.

maybe just charge money if you use more compute ????
