Commercial transition
Previous statePaid V5 self-hosted runner capacity was purchased outside the new Premium runner packaging.
→New statePremium includes two concurrent build slots for the affected runner model, while a free self-hosted runner option remains available.
Who is affected
Bitbucket Cloud buyers, Pipelines administrators and teams using paid V5 self-hosted runners.
Action required
Review workspace edition, runner version and concurrency requirements and plan the paid-runner migration without assuming free access is removed.
Evidence boundary
