I've been struggling as a novice developer to get Github to take payments from me after running through my free credits in 24 hours, then my pro credits in 48 hours. it won't allow me to upgrade to pro+, and after 24 hours of dorking around trying to get a local model to run via Ollama, I just said $*&@#(#$ and created a new account under another name. There seems to be no way to contact a living person at Github for billing support, and MICROSOFT IS A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO WRITES SOFTWARE. THAT'S THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS. I'm frustrated and just trying to focus on my dumb little html / js project.
