Overview

GitHub now warns you by email as your included usage approaches its monthly thresholds across Actions, Packages, Git LFS, and Codespaces.

GitHub sends email notifications when your included usage reaches 90 % and 100 % during a billing period. This helps you stay ahead of unexpected overage charges or workflow disruptions.

Products Covered

  • Actions minutes
  • Actions storage
  • Packages bandwidth
  • Packages storage
  • Git LFS bandwidth
  • Git LFS storage
  • Codespaces core hours
  • Codespaces storage

Each email identifies the account, product, approximate usage versus included allowance, and current billing period. It also includes a direct link to budgets for further monitoring.

Managing Alerts

You can opt in or out of these notifications from the Included usage alerts control on the “Budgets & alerts” page. This setting is available to enterprise admins, organization admins, and billing managers.
