# Billing and usage

There are usage limits for GitHub Actions workflows. Usage charges apply to repositories that go beyond the amount of free minutes and storage for a repository.

## About billing for GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions usage is free for GitHub Enterprise Server instances that use self-hosted runners. For more information, see [Self-hosted runners](/en/enterprise-server@3.22/actions/concepts/runners/self-hosted-runners).

## Usage limits and policy

There are several limits on GitHub Actions usage when using GitHub-hosted runners. See [Actions limits](/en/enterprise-server@3.22/actions/reference/limits).

In addition to the usage limits, you must ensure that you use GitHub Actions within the [GitHub Terms of Service](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service). For more information on GitHub Actions-specific terms, see the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features#actions).

## Billing for reusable workflows

If you reuse a workflow, billing is always associated with the caller workflow. Assignment of GitHub-hosted runners is always evaluated using only the caller's context. The caller cannot use GitHub-hosted runners from the called repository.

For more information see, [Reuse workflows](/en/enterprise-server@3.22/actions/how-tos/reuse-automations/reuse-workflows).
