I'm not from ASF Infra. But here's what we use to evaluate against our
resource usage for Iceberg.


https://infra.apache.org/github-actions-policy.html
- The average number of minutes a project uses per calendar week MUST NOT
exceed the equivalent of 25 full-time runners (250,000 minutes, or 4,200
hours).
- The average number of minutes a project uses in any consecutive five-day
period MUST NOT exceed the equivalent of 30 full-time runners (216,000
minutes, or 3,600 hours).

For Arrow:
Past 7 days: Total usage: 146,826 minutes
https://infra-reports.apache.org/#ghactions&project=arrow&hours=168&limit=15&group=name

Past 5 days: Total usage: 86,611 minutes
https://infra-reports.apache.org/#ghactions&project=arrow&hours=120&limit=15&group=name
