I just noticed something odd and wanted to check if it’s only me.
On July 27, 2025, I opened a support ticket with GitHub after receiving an invoice that showed my public open-source repository being billed under “metered” usage. From what I understand, public repos shouldn’t trigger these charges.
I only got a reply on August 12, and the next day they explained it was a bug: some users were charged a couple of cents for metered billing products, even when they shouldn’t have been. They reversed the charge and said they’re working on a fix.
That’s fine — but now I’m wondering: how many other people saw a tiny $0.02 or $0.03 charge and didn’t bother contacting support?
Has anyone else here noticed small, unexpected charges for public repos recently?
