Disclaimer

GitHub API rate limit consumption

When a Pull Request is created, this GitHub Actions polls the commit status of the Pull Request and if it's ready to merge, it will merge it. You can set the interval by intervalSeconds, but depending on the user's input, you may be subject to an inordinate number of API calls. Be careful when setting this up.

GitHub Actions charge and quota

GitHub Actions are charged by runtime, and quotas are set for some users on free plans and other plans. This action checks for other statuses to pass, so it can take a lot of time to run. By default, it is set to time out after 1 minute, but you can change by timeoutSeconds if you need to.
