I think this only applies to private repositories:

```
*GitHub Actions usage is free for both public repositories and 
self-hosted runners.* For private repositories, each GitHub account 
receives a certain amount of free minutes and storage, depending on the 
product used with the account.
```

(emphasis mine)

I do not see any balance of minutes spent on github actions on 
mysql-native, and I'm pretty sure I would have exhausted 2000 minutes 
already.
