Thanks for forwarding my comment, it's much appreciated! I opened a ticket a while ago ago, I'll add this comment to the conversation. We're working on setting up our runners in the meantime.
I have talked with the fulfillment team at GitLab [0], and there was a problem identified with workers not syncing the purchased CI minutes after the DB migration. Corrections have been made, and potentially you should see the synced CI minutes soon. Support teams have access and can check with you, I do not have access.
Setting up your own runners is a sensible approach, and allows you to scale them for your own needs too. Maybe this workshop about pipeline efficiency can help with more ideas and insights [1].
Thank you for the update! We already have our workers working, it was super easy to set it up. I can confirm that the pipeline minutes have been added to my account.
