Github has started charging me on the free tier? (piefed.social)

I had an interesting email come in about billing. GitHub thinks I owe them money...cents on the dollar but still $$. I am on the free tier on GitHub and have been the past 15+ years. image
Up til recently, ive had no bills and im not an admin on any org. It looks like all my GitHub actions on my repos are accruing billing now. None of these repos are private. So im not 100% why this is occurring.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something im missing here?

Did you ever adjust your budgets in your settings for your account: https://github.com/settings/billing/budgets

I also have the free account, and I never touched the budgets section. In here, GitHub action budget is set to $0 and has Stop usage enabled.

If these settings are set to $0 and you got charged, then I guess you can open up a case support case, since that seems like a bug.

Ah yeah that's a good idea. I'll do that.
