GitHub Actions data transfer is not billed, but mentioned in the docs #7569

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions#calculating-minute-and-storage-spending

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

There is the following confusing sentence:

At the end of the month, GitHub rounds your data transfer to the nearest GB.

The article does not mention data transfer (or ingress/egress/traffic for that matter) anywhere else. It might be copied from the corresponding GitHub Packages page. I'm not sure if it should say something about rounding to dollar-cent amounts instead, but the GitHub Packages page does not do that either. Maybe it should say "round to nearest minute"?

Also, consider adding a sentence that data transfer is free for GitHub Actions.
