GitHub: Disruption with some GitHub services
Timeline of updates
- resolved
On 2025-04-03, between 6:13:27 PM UTC and 7:12:00 PM UTC the docs.github.com service was degraded and errored. On average, the error rate was 8% and peaked at 20% of requests to the service. This was due to a misconfiguration and elevated requests. We mitigated the incident by correcting the misconfiguration. We are working to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this one in the future.
