04/11/2025, 2:28 PMIs codespaces only for a maximum of 15$?. I hit the pay wall, and now cannot use it until next month. I would have switched back to gitpod, but need the yml haha 😆🤪

04/11/2025, 2:39 PMYou'll need to use singularity in there instead of docker, but otherwise I think it's mostly working

04/11/2025, 2:40 PMYes, that makes sense.
Just thinking for training, if this will be annoying to set up for everyone. But maybe most will not be at the limit anyway (and I can ask before)

04/14/2025, 6:35 AMMy bill got to $16 before codespaces ended the free usage for me.
Its 48$ for a pro account per month
with 180 core-hours of Codespaces and 3000 minute github actions.

04/14/2025, 6:49 AMAh, I reached $16 quickly because of all the github actions when changing nf-core configs (is 97% of the total bill). My codespaces usage was super low
