I downgraded too, and noticed GitHub Pages stopped working (the content is still there, but they don't rebuild - although they did for a little while after downgrading). It is clearly marked as a Pro feature, I just hadn't considered that the free private repos would be more restricted.

It's not a big deal to me, I'll probably just make the repos public.

I have a free GitHub account and also have GitHub Pages for my blog, which is developed in one of my public repos.

Do you mean some specific additional features for GitHub Pages, such as a vanity URL, or building from private repos?

Building from private repos did not work for me once I downgraded to the free tier.

Just private repos. When you look at the GH pages section it says "Make this repo public to enable GH Pages" or something. Your existing site still serves, but it doesn't build anymore.

This answers a question I had I guess. I thought with the new free-tier stuff like private repos - GH pages would still work :(

it does but only for public repos.
