I find it concerning that the incident is marked as resolved and the incident history suggests that have corrected the billing.

We still have a $7m dollar balance on our account, so the issue clearly is not resolved.

Providing incorrect information on status pages makes it hard to trust in the future.

Seven... Million? Though it says the incorrect billing is still not fixed there.
I understand it differently. They said 7 hours ago it hadn't been fixed but afterwards they said the issue is resolved. I would understand that this means all issues have been resolved. Otherwise I don't get how they can close the incident.
9 hours ago they posted "We have started a cleanup of incorrect billing information and expect that to be completed in a few hours."

2 hours later they marked the incident as resolved, but they clearly have not completed the "cleanup" yet.

Update Actions and Codespaces are operating normally except for incorrect billing reports. We have started a cleanup of incorrect billing information and expect that to be completed in a few hours. Posted 9 hours ago. Apr 13, 2022 - 23:36 UTC

Update We've applied a mitigation to unblock running Actions jobs and using Codespaces. We are currently working on addressing the inconsistencies in billing information. Posted 11 hours ago. Apr 13, 2022 - 21:07 UTC

To provide a bit more info, I woke up to a $32m email, but it had already been fixed when I checked enterprise dash a few hours ago.
I’n fairly certain at some point today we owed 6 billion :P
ours was $3.1 million, luckily our account shows the correct billing.
What is the typical relative balance on your account? Does $7m mean 7 million USD? Over what period of time?
What exactly do you work on if you’re paying 7 million to just GitHub?
You have parsed the comment incorrectly. The OP is saying that the $7m is an error that is yet to be resolved.
