Incident with Actions

Resolved -
On May 20, 2026, between 16:00 UTC and 17:45 UTC, GitHub Actions customers experienced run start delays exceeding 5 minutes. Approximately 4.5% of all runs were delayed during the impact window, with scale set jobs disproportionately affected. 30% of scale set jobs were delayed and 4% failed to start entirely. The incident was caused by a misconfigured health check on an internal service that assigns jobs to runners. A brief latency spike in an upstream dependency triggered health check failures across several pods, removing them from service and concentrating load on the remaining capacity. The added load drove memory pressure that escalated into a cascading failure in one regional cluster, leaving it unable to self-recover. Responders mitigated the incident by scaling capacity in the healthy regional clusters and draining traffic away from the impaired one, after which run start latency recovered. To prevent recurrence, we are strengthening our health check configuration to avoid cascading failure scenarios and evaluating automated mitigations to rebalance traffic when a region is degraded.

Update -
Customer impact has fully subsided. We are maintaining yellow status while we deploy a permanent fix to prevent recurrence.

Actions is experiencing degraded availability

Resolved -
On May 15, 2026, from approximately 07:43 UTC to 08:48 UTC, GitHub Actions experienced a degradation that caused workflow runs to fail or experience delayed starts for a subset of customers. The incident was triggered by a planned failover of supporting infrastructure used by GitHub Actions. During that operation, an automated service discovery update did not propagate correctly, which caused traffic to be routed incorrectly and increased request timeouts in a core dependency for workflow orchestration. At peak impact, 42% of Actions runs failed. Downstream services that depend on Actions workflow execution were also impacted, including GitHub Pages and Copilot cloud services. At 08:12 UTC, responders manually corrected the service discovery routing issue. Timeout and failure rates recovered shortly after, and we continued monitoring until full stabilization was confirmed across all affected services. The incident was marked resolved at 08:48 UTC. To prevent recurrence, we are implementing failover guardrails that validate service discovery state before completing failover operations, strengthening pre-flight and post-flight verification checks, and improving dependency resilience to reduce timeout cascades during infrastructure events.

Incident with CodeQL

Resolved -
On May 13, 2026, between 14:31 and 16:03 UTC, the Code Scanning service experienced processing delays and 12% of check runs took over 15 minutes to complete. The delays were caused by replication lag due to an internal database migration, resulting in insufficient worker capacity for our high rate of job enqueues. We mitigated the impact by scaling our processing workers by 34%. Code Scanning results returned to normal processing times after the mitigation was applied. The capacity increases are permanent, and we are looking into more ways to decrease the load on our workers to help prevent this in the future.

May 13, 16:03 UTC

Update -
CodeQL impact has been mitigated. We are continuing to monitor for durable recovery.

Incident with CodeQL, Webhooks, Notifications, and Slack Integration

Resolved -
On May 12, 2026, between 13:41 and 17:43 UTC, some services experienced delays in processing. For the Code Scanning service, 53% of check runs took over 15 minutes to complete. Additionally, notifications took an average of 22 minutes to be delivered and Slack integration webhooks took an average of 20 minutes to be delivered. The delays were caused by replication lag due to an internal database migration, resulting in insufficient worker capacity for our high rate of job enqueues. We mitigated the impact by scaling our processing workers to handle the increased load. All services returned to normal processing times after the mitigation was applied. We are working to create dedicated worker pools for some of our high usage shared queues to help prevent this in the future.

May 12, 17:43 UTC

Update -
All services have fully recovered.

May 12, 17:43 UTC

Update -
CodeQL has fully recovered. We're continuing to work on recovery for the remaining impacted services.

The GitHub status page provides a detailed overview of the operational health and incident history of the GitHub platform, focusing on system uptime and past service disruptions. Over the past ninety days, the platform has maintained high uptime across various services, with metrics such as Git Operations, Webhooks, API Requests, Issues, Pull Requests, Actions, Packages, Pages, Copilot, Codespaces, and Copilot AI Model Providers consistently reporting uptime rates near or above ninety-nine percent, demonstrating general stability.

The status reports indicate that systems are generally operational, although the platform acknowledges the possibility of performance degradation, partial outages, and major outages. The service history documents several significant incidents involving critical components, primarily related to GitHub Actions, Pages, and CodeQL, which highlight challenges in maintaining performance and availability.

A major incident on May 26, 2026, involved degraded performance affecting GitHub Actions and Pages, stemming from authentication issues. This period included updates detailing investigations into authentication failures and the subsequent mitigation efforts to stabilize the affected services. Prior to this, on May 20, 2026, an incident related to GitHub Actions occurred where run start delays exceeded five minutes. This failure was traced to a misconfigured health check on an internal service responsible for job assignment, which triggered a cascading failure in one regional cluster due to memory pressure. The mitigation involved scaling capacity in healthy regions and draining traffic to recover execution time.

Further incidents involved CodeQL, the code scanning service. On May 13, 2026, delays in CodeQL processing were caused by replication lag during an internal database migration, which reduced worker capacity. The response involved scaling processing workers by thirty-four percent to mitigate the impact, showing that capacity increases could be applied permanently following such events. A separate incident on May 12, 2026, related to CodeQL, webhooks, notifications, and Slack integration also suffered delays. This was attributed to replication lag from a database migration, which caused insufficient worker capacity for job enqueues. Mitigation for this event involved scaling out processing workers to handle the increased load and implementing plans to use dedicated worker pools for high-usage shared queues to prevent future bottlenecks.

Intermittent authentication errors related to app installation tokens were also reported and resolved on May 23, 2026, through applied mitigations. The incident history demonstrates that the platform actively manages performance and availability through investigation, mitigation deployment, and ongoing monitoring, focusing on fixing issues related to service discovery, queuing services, and worker capacity management to prevent cascading failures during infrastructure events.
