Incident with Actions
On July 29, 2026, from 14:51 UTC to 15:28 UTC, GitHub Actions experienced elevated REST API request timeouts and errors, failures registering runners, and delayed workflow run starts for customers whose traffic was served by a single infrastructure site. This was caused by an under-provisioned internal Actions service in that site: under increased load its instances ran out of memory and became unresponsive, and because Actions API requests wait synchronously on that service, requests routed through the affected site stalled and timed out. During the incident, approximately 2% of workflows were delayed. Requests served by other sites remained unaffected. Both standard and larger hosted runners routed through the affected site could see delayed job starts. <br /><br />The issue was mitigated by scaling out the runner-administration service in the affected site and increasing the replica count, which restored API availability and returned workflow run starts to normal. We are working to add horizontal autoscaling, memory-saturation alerting, and scaling-forecast monitoring for this service, along with responder playbooks, to reduce the likelihood of similar issues in the future.

About GitHub Status Monitoring
This page provides real-time status monitoring for GitHub. DownSignal checks GitHub's availability every 30 seconds by sending HTTP requests to their servers and measuring response times. If GitHub responds within normal parameters, we report it as Operational. If response times exceed 3 seconds, it's marked as Degraded. If the request fails entirely or times out, the service is reported as Down.
