## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2025-03-18 18:45 UTC: On March 18th, 2025, between 13:35 UTC and 17:45 UTC, some users of GitHub Copilot Chat in GitHub experienced intermittent failures when reading or writing messages in a thread, resulting in a degraded experience. The error rate peaked at 3% of requests to the service. This was due to an availability incident with a database provider. Around 16:15 UTC the upstream service provider mitigated their availability incident, and service was restored in the following hour. We are working to improve our failover strategy for this database to reduce the time to mitigate similar incidents in the future.
