Might I make a suggestion here? You can try the FlyCI's M1 and M2 runners which are on average about 2x faster and 2x cheaper than GitHub's runners . We also offer a free tier of 500 mins/month on the M1 runner for OSS projects.

Pricing

Guide for Implementation

1. Install the FlyCI GitHub app.
2. Modify the runs-on directive in workflow files as demonstrated in this PR.
3. Enjoy enhanced efficiency in CI builds with the integration of FlyCI's MacOS runners.

jobs:
 ci:
-    runs-on: macos-latest
+    runs-on: flyci-macos-large-latest-m1
   steps:
   - name: 👀 Checkout repo
     uses: actions/checkout@v4

We'll be very happy to have you on board.

@radeva Thanks, but I am very happy with GitHub's runners. Please don't ping people under technical discussions with promo or ads.

@fwcd I apologise about that. We're just trying to solve the problems that people have around runners.
