Definition
Compute minutes: "The usage of instance runners by projects running CI/CD jobs is measured in compute minutes."
Counting rules
Per job: Job duration / 60 * Cost factor, charged to the job's top-level namespace. Cost factors depend on runner type and size (Linux x86-64 small = 1 up to 2xlarge = 12; macOS M2 Pro large = 12) and project type (0.5 for GitLab for Open Source public projects). Usage resets on the first day of each month. Jobs on your own runners do not use compute minutes.
Floors / minimums
GitLab.com monthly quota per top-level namespace: 400 (Free), 10,000 (Premium), 50,000 (Ultimate); the quota does not grow with user count.
