## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2025-03-17 23:02 UTC: Between March 17, 2025, 18:05 UTC and March 18, 2025, 09:50 UTC, GitHub.com experienced intermittent failures in web and API requests. These issues affected a small percentage of users (mostly related to pull requests and issues), with a peak error rate of 0.165% across all requests. We identified a framework upgrade that caused kernel panics in our Kubernetes infrastructure as the root cause. We mitigated the incident by downgrading until we were able to disable a problematic feature. In response, we have investigated why the upgrade caused the unexpected issue, have taken steps to temporarily prevent it, and are working on longer term patch plans while improving our observability to ensure we can quickly react to similar classes of problems in the future.
