- Teams running GitHub Actions jobs, including coding agents
- Worth noticing
- The sample workflow changes runs-on to a Runloft runner; the displayed dashboard is explicitly labeled simulated.
Field notes
The displayed workflow example swaps ubuntu-latest for runloft-ubuntu-24.04, with a 4-CPU variant also shown. The page says job timing comes from GitHub's started_at and completed_at timestamps, avoiding whole-minute rounding. Its dashboard mockup lists concurrent jobs and individual costs, but is marked simulated.
