Hello @Inteligencial Interior,

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with GitHub Actions in your repository. The message you’re seeing indicates that GitHub Actions has been disabled specifically for that repository, usually due to:

1. Violation of Terms of Service – Using actions that breach GitHub's policies.
2. Suspicious or abusive activity – Such as cryptocurrency mining, spam, or resource abuse.
3. Usage limits exceeded – On free public repositories or due to high consumption of minutes.
4. Administrative restriction – An organization owner or repository administrator may have disabled it.

Steps you can take:

1. Check repository settings:

   • Go to Settings → Actions → General and verify whether Actions is enabled.
   • If you are an administrator, try re-enabling it.

2. Contact GitHub Support:

   • Even though you mentioned that support hasn’t been helpful, this is the official channel for resolving such restrictions.
   • Provide details such as: repository name, user/organization, and any prior emails or notifications from GitHub.

3. Check the email associated with your GitHub account:

   • GitHub usually sends email notifications when restrictive actions are taken.

If the issue persists and support does not respond, you may try:

• Creating a new repository and migrating your code (if your account is not blocked).
• Posting a question on GitHub Community with the tag actions.

I hope you can resolve this soon. If you need help reviewing the configuration, please share more details.

Best regards.

This message appears when GitHub has disabled Actions at the account or repository level, usually due to internal policy or abuse-prevention checks. It’s not caused by a workflow misconfiguration.

Once Actions are disabled this way, they cannot be re-enabled by the user. GitHub Support generally doesn’t share the exact reason, and in many cases they’re unable to lift the restriction.

The only practical option is to use a new repository or account and avoid automated commit scripts or excessive workflow runs going forward.
