  • Self-hosted runners: You need to add and maintain them. {% ifversion actions-cloud-platform-march %}These runners add little to your bill for actions usage because you are charged only for using the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} cloud platform. After you have used the free minutes included in your plan, you pay $0.002 USD per minute of processing time.{% elsif fpt or ghec %}Use is currently free.
