GB-month; storage GB-hours
Definition
GitHub Actions billing: "1 GB-Hour = 1 GB of storage for 1 hour". Storage is measured in binary gigabytes (1 GB = 2^30 bytes) and "Your monthly bill converts GB-Hours to GB-Months by dividing by the hours in the month".
Counting rules
Actions artifact storage and GitHub Packages storage share one pooled allowance, accrued hourly; deleting artifacts stops future accrual but does not remove storage already accrued in the cycle. Actions cache (10 GB per repository included) and custom image storage are separate allowances. Codespaces storage is also measured in GB-hours. Overage rates as published: shared storage USD 0.25 per GB-month, Actions cache USD 0.07 per GB-month.
Floors / minimums
Included shared storage: GitHub Free 500 MB; Pro 1 GB; Free for organizations 500 MB; Team 2 GB; Enterprise Cloud 50 GB.
