After contributing through fork, get flooded with hourly failed actions

The contribution experience when proposing changes to the docs through a Github PR

What changes are you suggesting?

I contributed to docs. So I set up a fork for the PR to come from.

Now I get flooded with failed actions coming from the fork. I had to manually disable actions after discovering my email inbox was totally overwhelmed. This is not a good experience - it's almost a DOS attack. I might miss some important failed actions in the haystack.

Additional information

There seems to have been a related issue before, but it was apparently closed as resolved and it's also not necessarily identical: #9190

This is my fork: https://github.com/corneliusroemer/docs/actions

Workaround: disable actions on fork here https://github.com/corneliusroemer/docs/settings/actions

I agree with @corneliusroemer. I didn't raise an issue thinking this was a fault from my side.

Until now I had unsubscribed to the notification from my fork, thanks for the workaround.

@corneliusroemer Thank you for opening this issue. I am going to close this as this is a duplicate of this issue #9190 💛

[corneliusroemer]

Thanks for reviewing @ramyaparimi. Isn't it confusing to close as duplicate if the duplicate is closed itself?

@corneliusroemer an issue has been already created internally for review 💛
