Codeac ↔ GitHub: Can Inactive Repositories Pause Billing?
0 reputation · 03 Jul 2023, 13:18 UTC
Goal
Determine a cost‑control strategy for a minimal‑traffic project that uses Codeac’s GitHub integration, while keeping the service active for occasional review requests.
Constraints
Codeac’s free tier allows one active repository and 1,000 review comments per month. Beyond that, each repository and each comment incur fees, and unused comment capacity does not roll over. The public documentation does not mention a method to suspend or pause billing for repositories that become inactive; billing appears to continue until the repository is deleted.
Uncertainty
It is unclear whether an inactive repository can be temporarily disabled or if the billing cycle will still accrue charges until the repository is removed. The integration uses OAuth and webhooks, but no explicit “pause” feature is documented.
Questions
- Does Codeac automatically stop billing a repository that has no active pull requests or review activity?
- Is there an API or dashboard option to suspend or pause billing for a repository without deleting it?
- If no such option exists, what is the recommended workflow to avoid charges while keeping the integration available?
