Two downsides of GHA that I could find:
- you are limited to 2 core / 7 GB instance, whereas CircleCI offers up to 16 cores / 64 GB (for example, building software usually scales proportionately to machine size, and this can in theory be up to 8x faster on CircleCI)

GHA also supports bringing your own self-hosted runners [1][2] where you install their agent, so you could, e.g., use an ARM instance on AWS with tons of cores. It looks like CircleCI offers this as well. [1]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/...
