My AI agents burned through GitHub's free CI minutes in six days

Last week my AI agents burned through GitHub's free CI minutes in six days.

Quote from a Microsoft spokesperson: the spike in agentic development has tested GitHub's infrastructure limits. GitHub was down worldwide for about two hours on 7 October 2026.

It turns out I'm not the only one.

GitHub expects 14 billion commits this year, against 1 billion last year. I suspect very few of them were typed by humans.
