Yeah, this is the killer. I don't mind paying $1/h for an M1 mac - our builds take about 10 minutes when cached, so paying $0.16 is fine. Even an hour's minimum would be totally fine - paying $60/mo to license it for 2h/day would be perfect. But, we're not paying $1/h with a 24h minimum every day. At that point, a Mac Mini is cheaper on month 1, so I have a mac mini on my desk.
