Comment Comment by franklyworks Runner price based on CPU/memory and time makes sense, since those are the costs associated with executing runners.The costs for GitHub doing action workflows (excluding running) is less related to job duration.The most charitable interpretation is that per-minute pricing is easier to understand, especially if you already pay runners per minute.The less charitable interpretation is that they charge that because they can, as they have the mindshare and network effect to keep you from changing. parent franklyworks 10 months ago
