]Nope! This was always weird/bad pattern of github actions. Luckily github offers a solution for this. Create a .github/dependabot.yml with, at a minimum, the following config:
# Basic dependabot.yml file with
# minimum configuration for two package managers
version: 2
updates:
# Enable version updates for npm
# Enable updates to github actions
- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
directory: "/"

interval: "daily"
