On https://github.com/organizations/my-org/settings/billing I can see that our organization is using 2.5 GBs (out of which 2 would be free). I also see these warnings:

> You’ve used 100% of included services for GitHub Storage (GitHub Actions and Packages)

> GitHub Actions and Packages won’t work until a monthly spending limit is set.

Nevertheless, Actions still fully works.

It is not clear what counts towards this usage, what this restriction will affect and how to mitigate it.

We extensively use caching and artifacts features. I’m assuming that either or both count towards the limit. We especially have large (~100MB) artifacts for a certain job (my guess for the culprit). This would result in an infinitely growing storage size.

I have a few observations / possibly feature requests:

• I don’t see a way to delete artifacts, nor would I want to do it manually. Having old artifacts which don’t fit the quota removed automatically is reasonable, as it is being done for the cache feature (“The total size of all caches in a repository don’t exceed 2 GB. If you exceed this limit, GitHub will save your cache but will begin evicting caches until the total size is less than 2 GB.”).

• I think features recycling storage space (e.g. cache) should not count towards the limit, or the sum of them should fit well within the limit. For example, if I currently use the cache feature and it counts towards the limit it can just fill up automatically and I won’t be able to use other features.

• If artifacts were to be recycled, I would like to be able to keep some of them indefinitely (understandably these would count towards the limit). For example, I would be OK with recycling dev build artifacts but not release build artifacts.

• For recycled items, I would like to be able to set a custom limit per repository. Since the limit is shared within the organization and some repositories may use it more extensively than others it’s possible that a single project takes up all of the limit. I would like to avoid this.
