Changes to CI pipeline minutes for new free users

GitLab announced changes to its CI/CD minutes policy for free tier users, effective March 15, 2020, setting a limit of 2000 pipeline minutes per group per month, regardless of project visibility, while existing free users remain unaffected. Pipeline minutes are the execution time on shared runners, with no limit on execution using personal runners. This adjustment aims to enhance efficiency, a core value at GitLab, and was decided after internal analysis showed most free users utilized less than 1000 CI minutes. If the new limit is insufficient, users can purchase more minutes or use their own runners. GitLab continues to focus on providing value to its community by strengthening its open-source offerings, and upcoming features include dynamic child pipeline creation and autoscaling CI jobs on AWS Fargate.
