Points to note about rates for runners
- The number of jobs you can run concurrently across all repositories in your user or organization account depends on your GitHub plan. For more information, see Billing and usage for GitHub-hosted runners and Actions limits for self-hosted runner usage limits.
- Larger runners are only available for organizations and enterprises using the GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud plans.
- Larger runners are only billed at the per-minute rate for the amount of time workflows are executed on them. There is no cost associated with creating a larger runner that is not being used by a workflow.
- For larger runners, there is no additional cost for configurations that assign public static IP addresses to a larger runner. For more information on larger runners, see Larger runners.
- Included minutes cannot be used for larger runners.
- The larger runners are not free for public repositories.
- Custom images can only be used with larger runners and are billed at the same per-minute rates as those runners.
