That's not related to your new account. It's a new behaviour that gitlab 
introduced for everybody using the shared runners recently. At least it's 
happening for me, too. I sometimes even only get 5 jobs running at the same 
time, but sometimes also more, I think ... it likely depends on the day and 
the amount of free runners.

Anyway, I think we should try to somehow decrease the amount of 
shared-runner jobs in our CI again. It's grown too big. Some long-running 
jobs should maybe be moved to a dedicated runner instead... Cleber, where 
are we with the custom runners? Any news here?
