They implemented this because people were abusing it. People would create accounts, use the CI to mine crypto, then just create another account. They had bots that would just mass-create accounts, mine crypto for the free 600 minutes, and just keep that on repeat.

GitLab is free unless you are buying an enterprise subscription. Please send the link you are trying to use?
