"We’ve read your posts and heard your feedback.

"1. We’re postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions to take time to re-evaluate our approach.

"2. We are continuing to reduce hosted-runners prices by up to 39% on January 1, 2026.

"We have real costs in running the Actions control plane. We are also making investments into self-hosted runners so they work at scale in customer environments, particularly for complex enterprise scenarios. While this context matters, we missed the mark with this change by not including more of you in our planning.

"We need to improve GitHub Actions. We’re taking more time to meet and listen closely to developers, customers, and partners to start. We’ve also opened a discussion to collect more direct feedback and will use that feedback to inform the GitHub Actions roadmap. We’re working hard to earn your trust through consistent delivery across GitHub Actions and the entire platform."
