Look over there, Copilot - it's a beautiful AI farm where you can tend some digital rabbits
GitHub’s automation platform Actions and its hosting service Pages are failing, according to an incident page on the service’s status site (archived version available here). Unfortunately, these are just the latest stability problems for a service that has had a lot of them lately.GitHub first reported the issue at 1522 UTC on Thursday, noting that Actions were suffering from “degraded performance” before noting about 20 minutes later that availability was also degraded. A few minutes after the availability notice, GitHub explained that workflow runs were failing to start, or failing partway through execution, and that requests to the Actions REST API were returning errors. The Microsoft subsidiary said users were also seeing unexpected rate limits. An unnamed cause was mentioned as having been discovered in the same update, but that was some two hours ago, and the situation has yet to be resolved, with Pages being added to the list of affected systems shortly after GitHub said it was working on mitigating the problem with Actions.
“Engineers have applied a number of mitigations and are rolling out a further fix across all affected systems now,” GitHub said in its most recent update as of 1740 UTC. The company added that “Copilot code review, Copilot coding agent, hosted runners, and migrations using GitHub Enterprise Importer” were also apparently being affected by the issue, and that Webhook deliveries might be delayed as well. Those problems are in addition to the earlier Actions workflow failures, timeouts, and degraded Pages availability.
