I don't even understand how they could do it. You own the servers that are giving them responses to determine the start/end times, so fudge the numbers fuck them, maybe you could find bugs in their shitty code so they start crediting you.

I think they kinda fucked themselves 3 concrete ways (among the nerds which may not be a problem for them):

1) this whole thing

2) the infinite running jobs issues which called attention to how poorly managed the GHA system is

3) zig et al announcing their departure and all the positive conversation around that
