alt Hacker News> Github’s servers are constantly on fire as their usage increased something like 50x due to LLM sloppers pushing large amounts of trash code
Which means they have a pricing problem. Rate limit non-paying users.

Right. It is not an excuse and they were notorious for outages before LLM era. Also, LLM can serve Github engineers as well, so we are all playing in the same field.

No. It means they have a capacity problem.
Just take away free Actions and it would surely solve a lot of their scale issues.
It's absurd that I have dozens of repos, many with GH Actions that run CI, test and then package and push to prod/package managers, and haven't paid GH anything.
