## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2025-05-23 18:33 UTC: On May 23, 2025, between 17:40 UTC and 18:30 UTC public API and UI requests to read and write Git repository content were degraded and triggered user-facing 500 responses. On average, the error rate was 61% and peaked at 88% of requests to the service. This was due to the introduction of an uncaught fatal error in an internal service. A manual rollback was required which increased the time to remediate the incident. We are working to automatically detect and revert a change based on alerting to reduce our time to detection and mitigation. In addition, we are adding relevant test coverage to prevent errors of this type getting to production.
