    description: >-
      Track Testcontainers Cloud Worker Minute consumption monthly by team
      and environment (Desktop vs CI) to understand testing infrastructure costs.

    description: >-
      Right-size concurrent worker counts using TC_CLOUD_CONCURRENCY; review
      unused quota rollover (minutes do not roll over month to month) and
      align subscription tier to actual usage.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Assign Service Account tokens per team or project to attribute CI Worker
      Minute usage accurately and enforce fair-use quotas per seat.
