## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2024-02-26 19:37 UTC: On February 26, 2024, between 18:34 UTC and 19:37 UTC our background job service was degraded and caused job start delays up to 15 minutes. Users experienced delays in Webhooks, Actions, and some UI updates (e.g. a delay in UI updates on pull requests). This was due to capacity problems with our job queueing service, and a failure of our automated failover system. We mitigated the incident by manually failing over to our secondary cluster. No data was lost - recovery began at 18:55 UTC, when the backlog of enqueued jobs began to process. We are actively working to repair our failover automation and expand the capacity of our background job queuing service to prevent issues like this in the future.
