Description

**Describe the bug**
The `Node.js CI` GitHub Actions workflow fails on every push to `main` and every pull request. The job never actually runs — it's blocked before checkout with the annotation: *"The job was not started because your account is locked due to a billing issue."* The `Greetings` workflow is affected the same way.

**To Reproduce**
1. Open a PR or push a commit to `main`.
2. Go to the **Actions** tab.
3. Open the `build (22.x)` job under `Node.js CI`.
4. See the annotation: "The job was not started because your account is locked due to a billing issue."

Example failing runs:
- [main push, 2026-05-17](https://github.com/Ashutosh00710/github-readme-activity-graph/actions/runs/25993803967)
- [PR #250, 2026-05-13](https://github.com/Ashutosh00710/github-readme-activity-graph/actions/runs/25809530853)
- [PR #252, 2026-07-29](https://github.com/Ashutosh00710/github-readme-activity-graph/actions/runs/30490986156)

**Expected behavior**
CI should run and report real pass/fail results on pushes and PRs, not fail immediately due to account billing status.

**Additional context**
This isn't a code bug — it's a GitHub Actions billing lock on the account/org running the workflows, so it can only be fixed by the repo owner (`@Ashutosh00710`) resolving billing on GitHub's side. Flagging it because it currently blocks all CI feedback on new PRs (including recent contributions like #252).

Research direction

Open the Actions tab and inspect the Node.js CI and Greetings workflow runs, especially the build (22.x) job. Confirm that jobs stop before checkout with the billing-lock annotation; done means pushes to main and pull requests start running and report real results after the repository owner's GitHub billing issue is resolved.
