Subject: Request to Re-enable GitHub Actions

Hello GitHub Support,

I encountered the following message on my account:

“GitHub Actions is currently disabled for your account. Please reach out to GitHub Support for assistance.”

I have already:

• Signed in and verified my email
• Enabled two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Checked billing settings and added a payment method (if prompted)

I use GitHub Actions for standard CI/CD and legitimate development workflows—not for prohibited use like free RDP servers or crypto mining.

Could you please review my account and re-enable GitHub Actions? A screenshot of the error message is attached for reference.

Thank you for your help!

It looks like you’ve already gone through the standard checks (email verified, 2FA enabled, billing set up), so this is probably something only GitHub Support can resolve on their side.

A few things you can try while waiting for Support:

• Make sure your account is not flagged for unusual activity (e.g. forks or public repos using Actions for mining/RDP).
• Check if Actions is disabled at the organization level (if you’re part of one) in addition to your personal account.
• If you recently created the account, sometimes Actions is temporarily restricted until Trust & Safety clears it.

Since you’re using Actions only for CI/CD and regular workflows, I’d recommend opening a direct ticket with GitHub Support and including the exact error message + screenshots (as you already did here).

Unfortunately, Discussions won’t re-enable Actions—it requires a manual review by Support. 🚀

how to get that form

Hi @arshad001khan,

You can open the form directly here: GitHub Support Contact Form.

When filling it out, choose “Actions” as the category, explain your issue, and attach any screenshots or error messages. That way the Trust & Safety team can manually review and re-enable Actions on your account.

Hope this helps!
