We’ve hit the [monthly limit](https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5802086680494080) after 9 days: > ⚠ Failed to start an instance: FAILED\_PRECONDITION: Monthly free compute limit exceeded! This was mentioned in the [issue](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/91960#issuecomment-1707236436): > Cirrus-CI might be an alternative, apparently, given this issue and relative PR, although I’m not familiar with them. Recently they introduced [a limit to free usage](https://cirrus-ci.org/blog/2023/07/17/limiting-free-usage-of-cirrus-ci/) which Python would likely exceed. So someone would have to get in touch and ask for additional resources for Python. From that blog post: > Starting September 1st 2023, there will be an upper monthly limit on free usage equal to 50 compute credits (which is equal to a little over 16,000 CPU-minutes for Linux tasks). [Cirrus CI](https://cirrus-ci.com/settings/github/python) shows: > Your current compute credits balance: **-0.39** Credits used: 61 CPU hours used: 335 Can we get the limit increased? --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.python.org/t/freebsd-gets-a-new-cirrus-ci-github-action-job-and-a-new-buildbot/33122)._
