One thing that always confuses me about the business factors in this kind of announcement, where they say that the vast majority of users won't be effected:
> We evaluted CI/CD minute usage and found that 98.5% of free users use 400 CI/CD minutes or less per month.
Okay, so just that 1.5% of free users, each using at most 1600 minutes more than the 400 under the new limits... is enough cost to actually matter and make it worth making this change?
Or they anticipated that number going up if they didn't make the change?
It seems odd to me to say "This hardly effects anyone at all, almost everyone can keep doing exactly what they are doing for the same price (free in this case)", AND "this was necessary for the sustainability of our budget."
