- This incident has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we addressed this issue. A detailed root cause analysis will be shared as soon as it is available.
+ On November 5, 2026, between 23:21 and approximately 23:26 UTC, several GitHub services experienced elevated errors, including Git operations, Issues, Actions, authentication, and API requests. Customers may have encountered failed requests and Git pushes, and some Actions workflow runs were delayed. This incident was caused by a bug in our database failover automation during planned maintenance. The automation stopped before completing the switch to a replacement database primary, leaving the existing primary unable to accept writes. We mitigated the disruption by restoring writes on the original primary. We subsequently completed the maintenance and monitored services to confirm recovery. We are fixing the automation bug and strengthening our pre-maintenance checks and recovery procedures to prevent similar disruptions and restore service more quickly if a failure occurs.
