Github storage usage update

Quick update on the Github Actions storage issue I ran into last month. To summarize Github blocked me because it claimed I went over my Actions storage quota. I contacted their support and they were not able to answer my very basic and polite questions, instead sending me pre-written articles that didn‘t fit my situation very well imho. They then stopped replying to me. Eventually the quota got reset with the new billing cycle.
We are 1/3 of the way through the current month‘s billing cycle. I have written four days worth of posts so far this month. Last month in total I had written 13 days of posts when I went over my quota, leading to the suspension. So you would expect that since my publishing workflow uses up the exact same amount of storage every day, that I would be 1/3 of the way through my quota, right?
Well I just checked on the billing page, and I have used up 0 GB of the 0.5 GB included free Actions storage this month. I haven‘t made any changes to how the site builds. It‘s the exact same actions that build the site. Haven‘t changed them for many many months.
Github I tried really hard to figure out your complicated Actions storage quota system. It makes no sense to me. #
