Expectations
What are we expecting to happen?
When a group is eligible for purchasing additional CI Minutes, the button on the Usage Quotas are of the group will direct the customer to the GitLab-embedded CI Minutes flow.
What might happen if this goes wrong?
If something goes wrong, the customers won't be able to purchase additional CI Minutes. Disabling the FF will be sufficient to solve any incident.
What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
