What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/billing/concepts/product-billing/github-actions.md

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

I've been unable to find information about the Github costs related to using the Azure Private Networking features.
I.e. neither of the below links for information anout Azure Private Networking, and GitHub Hosted Runner Pricing where I'd expect to find such info contains it:

I did find this post suggesting that we pay for an always-on self hosted runner if using this featuer, but they don't cite their source and I've been unable to find anything to suggest this, so my guess is that info is incorrect.

AI (Claude) initially suggested that using private networking lead to a 2x cost compared to the GH network counterpart - but on asking for sources it confirmed it couldn't find anything / that it had hallucinated.

My guess is that this isn't documented because they're still considered GitHub Hosted Runners, so it's a configuration option that comes at no extra cost / the only costs are those caused by amending size or os/image of the runner; whiich would be charged the same as they would were they not run on our network. However, it would be nice to have this made explicit in the docs (if correct; or for the correct pricing info to be available otherwise).
