## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2024-04-09 20:17 UTC: On April 9, 2024, between 18:00 and 20:17 UTC, Actions was degraded and had failures for new and existing customers. During this time, Actions failed to start for 5,426 new repositories, and 1% of runs for existing customers were delayed, with half of those failing due to an infrastructure error. The root cause was an expired certificate which caused authentication to fail between internal services. The incident was mitigated once the cert was rotated. We are working to improve our automation to ensure certs are rotated before expiration.
