+## About billing for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}
+
+{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
+{% data reusables.actions.actions-billing %} For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions).
+{% else %}
+{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage is free for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instances that use self-hosted runners. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/about-self-hosted-runners).
+{% endif %}
+
+{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
+
+## Availability
+
+{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is available on all {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} products, but {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is not available for private repositories owned by accounts using legacy per-repository plans. {% data reusables.gated-features.more-info %}
+
+{% endif %}
+
+## Usage limits and policy
+
+There are several limits on {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage when using {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners. See [AUTOTITLE](/actions/reference/actions-limits).
+
+In addition to the usage limits, you must ensure that you use {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} within the [GitHub Terms of Service](/free-pro-team@latest/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service). For more information on {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}-specific terms, see the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/free-pro-team@latest/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-for-additional-products-and-features#a-actions-usage).
+
+{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
+
+## {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage metrics
+
+Organization owners and users with the "View organization Actions metrics" permission can view {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage metrics for their organization. These metrics can help you understand how and where your Actions minutes are being used. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/enterprise-cloud@latest/organizations/collaborating-with-groups-in-organizations/viewing-usage-metrics-for-github-actions).
+
+When you view usage metrics, it is important to remember that {% data reusables.actions.actions-usage-metrics-not-billing-metrics %}
+
+{% endif %}
+
+## Billing for reusable workflows
+
+If you reuse a workflow, billing is always associated with the caller workflow. Assignment of {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners is always evaluated using only the caller's context. The caller cannot use {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners from the called repository.
+
+For more information see, [AUTOTITLE](/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows).
+
+## Next steps
+
+You can manage your {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage and retention policies for your repository, organization, or enterprise account. For more information, see:
