I noticed today after pushing an image that it automatically became a free repo on my Docker Hub account. At that point, I had two private repositories:
This confuses me because according to the pricing page, accounts on the Free plan only get one private repository.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I wonder if it’s related to the fact I was pushing an image that I had already pulled from a public repository without changing it (I’m doing this to test authing private image pulls for CircleCI before Nov 1):

The push refers to repository [docker.io/mwelke/node-14-slim]

Notice how it says “Mounted from library/node”. So perhaps the push succeeds because I’m not actually pushing any layers up.
Note that after doing this, I did indeed end up with 3 private repositories while on the free plan:
The point is is you can pull the exceeding ones or not?
