Rough estimate from wall-clock run time at standard Linux pricing. Public repos run Actions free, so the dollar figures are the equivalent cost on a private repo. Matrix/parallel jobs and your actual runners will differ.

Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

Missing dependency cache · build

~11 min/mo

Set `cache: 'gradle'` on your `actions/setup-java` step, or add an `actions/cache@v4` step keyed on your build file.

- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
  with:
    distribution: 'temurin'
    java-version: '21'
    cache: 'gradle'

No job timeout · build

~0 min/mo

No job sets `timeout-minutes`, so a hung step can run to GitHub's 6-hour default. Add `timeout-minutes` to each job.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 15

Artifacts at default retention · build

~0 min/mo

`upload-artifact` has no `retention-days`, so artifacts keep up to 90 days (storage cost). Set e.g. `retention-days: 7`.

- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
  with:
    name: build
    path: dist/
    retention-days: 7

Premium runners (macOS / Windows) · build

~0 min/mo

macOS bills ~10× and Windows ~2× a Linux minute. The cost estimate above assumes Linux, so your real spend is higher. Move any job that doesn't need them to `ubuntu-latest`.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest  # ~10x cheaper than macos-latest
