Elevated error rates across multiple services
noneMay 28, 2026 · resolved May 28
On May 28, 2026, between 19:07 UTC and 19:16 UTC, multiple GitHub services experienced elevated error rates. This was due to a change that was partially deployed to an authentication service, causing errors for dependent services including the web experience, REST API, Git operations, and GitHub Actions. At peak impact, 10% of GitHub Actions runs failed to queue or encountered errors while downloading actions. We mitigated the incident by rolling back the change. We are expanding test coverage and improving our deployment validation process to prevent recurrence of this issue in the future.

Incident with Pull Requests, Issues, Git Operations and API Requests
minorMay 27, 2026 · resolved May 27
On May 27, 2026, between 12:07 UTC and 13:16 UTC, users experienced degraded performance for Git operations, Pull Requests, Issues, GraphQL API, and related services on github.com. During this time, operations that depended on Git file servers experienced elevated error rates (3.5% of pushes via HTTPS and 0.2% of pushes via SSH failed; no fetches/clones failed). An internal analytics component generated unexpectedly high load, which caused CPU saturation on the underlying infrastructure. This led to cascading slowdowns and errors across services that depend on Git operations. The issue was mitigated by stopping the offending component. Services began recovering shortly after mitigation and were fully restored by 13:16 UTC. We are taking steps to add resource limits and kill switches for internal analytics components to prevent similar issues in the future.
