Create documentation for CI Minutes Consumption and Quotas on Shared Runners
Overview
As we begin to tackle abuse and understand how to manage enforcement of quotas across various plans it would be great to have a SSOT of how CI minute consumption and quotas work, and his cost factors play into that.
Proposal
Create documentation for our CI minutes cost factor/consumption/quotas details for Shared Runners. Things to include in the documentation:
- What are CI minutes?
- SaaS: Limits per plan. Exceptions on SaaS (disabled limits). Instance defaults.
- Self-hosted: how to use CI minutes to set quotas. Limit per namespace. Instance defaults.
- How a job affects the CI minutes consumption (calculation, cost factor).
- Namespace and project-level tracking.
- Additional minutes / purchases
- Monthly reset / manual reset
- CI minutes notifications sent to namespace owners
