I just want to point out that my personal paypal account is the billing method for this github org and I can't remove it because it would break ores (another fun story), so I appriecate this being fixed. Let me know if I can help with anything

Confirm, as a Wikimedia-GitHub admin that I also got the same email, included another one on Sept., 26 telling us that we've used over 90% of the included services for the wikimedia account (mentions GitHub actions: 2730 out of 3000 minutes). I guess this is due to the repo being private, because it looks GitHub does not charge us for actions on public repos? Adding Release-Engineering-Team as well.

@Ladsgroup I was doing some CI experiments for iOS. I deleted the files stored by the actions and the repository itself, so we should be back under the quota as an org.

@Ladsgroup Let's figure out a way to get your personal paypal out of there. That is unfair to you and a vulnerability to the system. Now we have about 10 different reasons to have our call!

I guess https://github.com/nonprofit if not done already?

We have a coupon that makes everything free forever, I assume this came from github directly (I don't know if it was done by partnerships or not or it's just the nonprofit you mentioned) BUT:

• If someone removes that coupon, by mistake or not or
• If it doesn't cover some certain services or
• If Github changes its mind and invalidates it (because corporations)

I'll be billed for gosh knows how much.

The usage storage is per day and per repository.

Looks like wikimedia/wikipedia-ios uses ~ 970MBytes

wikimedia/wikipedia-ios-deploy used some Mac OS X resources and its storage usage raised:

The repository has been removed by @JoeWalsh yesterday (18:47 UTC). We had some mail exchange about better supporting iOS CI, I guess that wikipedia-ios-deploy repository was transient and part of the experiment.

Given the repository has been deleted, I am guessing the notification will stop.

That must be addressed, do we have tasks for those concerns?

• (edit filed as T264142) the billing method must be changed to be owned by the Wikimedia foundation, definitely not by an individual. I am not even sure what kind of restrictions we would have to put in place given there are a wide range of people being owner of the Github organization without even being employees or contractors. But that is a whole other can of worms to open.
• Ditto for ORES, we would need a task for it. Not sure why it would require any billing method, I guess cause its using some specific feature. Surely we can migrate that to our own stack and the cost (cpu, storage etc) will end up being supported by Wikimedia eisting infrastructure. If at all feasible obviously.

If nobody else has worked on this yet I can take it.
