Git LFS moves to metered billing

[github-product-roadmap]

Summary

LFS billing will switch from prepaid data packs to metered (pay for what you use). The free entitlements (for example, 1GB storage and 1GB bandwidth) will be unchanged. Customers will not be billed for LFS storage that occurred prior to the start of metering.

Intended Outcome

This change brings LFS billing in line with how Packages and Actions bill. Instead of prepaying for a quota, you'll only be charged for what your repositories use.

How will it work?

We'll calculate how much storage is used and measure how much outbound bandwidth is used. Each month, you'll be charged per-unit for each of these resources.
