GitHub: Incident with Actions: Queue Run Failures
Timeline of updates
- resolved
On March 18th, 2025, between 23:20 UTC and March 19th, 2025 00:15 UTC, the Actions service experienced degradation, leading to run start delays. During the incident, about 0.3% of all workflow runs queued during the time failed to start, about 0.67% of all workflow runs were delayed by an average of 10 minutes, and about 0.16% of all workflow runs ultimately ended with an infrastructure failure. This was due to a networking issue with an underlying service provider. At 00:15 UTC the service provider mitigated their issue, and service was restored immediately for Actions. We are working to improve our resilience to downtime in this service provider to reduce the time to mitigate in any future recurrences.
