Or have we? GitLab user accounts get 400 minutes of CI credits. Forks of QEMU though are only charged at a cost fact or 0.008 since we are a member of the OSS program https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/pipelines/compute_minutes/#cost-factors-of-hosted-runners-for-gitlabcom IOW, you're charged 1 minute per 125 minutes of job time. A single QEMU pipline run in my fork today cost 4.5 credits. That's enough for 87 pipeline runs per month, if I was not contributing to anything outside QEMU on gitlab.com. If you run a pipeline to sanity check before sending a patch series I don't think most people will ever run out of credits. If you run multiple pipelines a day during development then you might be pushing your luck. Better to use the local "make docker-...." targets for day-to-day testing during dev, and just use gitlab pipelines before submission.
