GitHub: Incident with Copilot
Timeline of updates
- resolved
On May 20, 2025, between 18:18 UTC and 19:53 UTC, Copilot Code Completions were degraded in the Americas. On average the error rate was 50% of requests to the service in the affected region. This was due to a misconfiguration in load distribution parameters after a scale down operation. We mitigated the incident by addressing the misconfiguration. We are working to improve our automated failover and load balancing mechanisms to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this one in the future.
