Checks
  • This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions. It might also be a good idea to contract with any of contributors and maintainers if your business is so critical and therefore you need priority support
  • I've read releasenotes before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes
  • My actions-runner-controller version (v0.x.y) does support the feature
  • I've already upgraded ARC (including the CRDs, see charts/actions-runner-controller/docs/UPGRADING.md for details) to the latest and it didn't fix the issue
  • I've migrated to the workflow job webhook event (if you using webhook driven scaling)
