GitHub: Incident with Actions
Timeline of updates
- resolved
On August 14, 2025, between 02:30 UTC and 06:14 UTC, GitHub Actions was degraded. On average, 3% of workflow runs were delayed by at least 5 minutes. The incident was caused by an outage in a downstream dependency that led to failures in backend service connectivity in one region. At 03:59 UTC, we evacuated a majority of services in the impacted region, but some users may have seen ongoing impact until all services were fully evacuated at 06:14 UTC. We are working to improve monitoring and processes of failover to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this one in the future.
