So you print a scientific paper at home. A van with HP markings suddenly parks in front of your house. You start reading the paper. You take notes. You finish reading the paper. A person emerges from the van parked in front of your house, knocks on your door and tells you: "It took you 3 hours to read the paper. That'll be $0,36. Cash or card?"

That's more or less what is now doing with self-hosted runners for GitHub Actions.

Introduction of the GitHub Actions cloud platform charge We are introducing a $0.002 per-minute Actions cloud platform charge for all Actions workflows across GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners. The new listed GitHub-runner rates include this charge. This will not impact Actions usage in public repositories or GitHub Enterprise Server customers. This aligns pricing to match consumption patterns and ensures consistent service quality as usage grows across both hosting modalities. This will impact self-hosted runner pricing starting March 1, 2026.
