Increase cache limit per repository

[smorimoto]

Well, I made a similar request for this over a year ago (#6), and as a result it has increased to 5GB, but I should say that for large C++ projects, 5GB is still quite insufficient. I think many developers involved in native development have the similar opinion, what do you think?

GitHub Actions support charging for "Storage for Actions and Packages".

Would removing the cache size limit and introducing charges for cache space will solve your problem? What cache management features do you need to avoid unexpected costs and other billing issues?

Hey folks! We are very close to shipping this out. Expect something around the 15th of November!

PS: Dates can slip but the team is doing engineering on it so I am hoping we can get this out soon!

After all, we don't even know what will be shipped yet, but what will be shipped?

@smorimoto I should have clarified it before. We are working to increase the per repo cache limit from 5GB to 10GB. The increased size will be available for free to all accounts.

That's good! Looking forward to that 🙃

I'm excited to see actions/toolkit#934!

Happy to announce that today we shipped cache size increase from 5GB per repo to 10GB. 🚀 🚀
