Policy pages for Copilot are timing out

Resolved - On January 21, between 17:50 and 20:53 UTC, around 350 enterprises and organizations experienced slower load times or timeouts when viewing Copilot policy pages. The issue was traced to performance degradation under load due to an issue in upstream database caching capability within our billing infrastructure, which increased query latency to retrieve billing and policy information from approximately 300ms to up to 1.5s.

To restore service, we disabled the affected caching feature, which immediately returned performance to normal. We then addressed the issue in the caching capability and re-enabled our use of the database cache and observed continued recovery.

Moving forward, we’re tightening our procedures for deploying performance optimizations, adding test coverage, and improving cross-service visibility and alerting so we can detect upstream degradations earlier and reduce impact to customers.

Run start delays in Actions

Resolved - On January 20, 2026, between 19:08 UTC and 20:18 UTC, manually dispatched GitHub Actions workflows saw delayed job starts. GitHub products built on Actions such as Dependabot, Pages builds, and Copilot coding agent experienced similar delays. All jobs successfully completed despite the delays. At peak impact, approximately 23% of workflow runs were affected, with an average delay of 11 minutes.

This was caused by a load pattern shift in Actions scheduled jobs that saturated a shared backend resource. We mitigated the incident by temporarily throttling traffic and scaling up resources to account for the change in load pattern. To prevent recurrence, we have scaled resources appropriately and implemented optimizations to prevent this load pattern in the future.

Incident affecting actions-runner-controller

Resolved - On January 20, 2026, between 14:39 UTC and 16:03 UTC, actions-runner-controller users experienced a 1% failure rate for API requests managing GitHub Actions runner scale sets. This caused delays in runner creation, resulting in delayed job starts for workflows targeting those runners. The root cause was a service to service circuit breaker that incorrectly tripped for all users when a single user hit rate limits for runner registration. The issue was mitigated by bypassing the circuit breaker, and users saw immediate and full service recovery following the fix.

We have updated our circuit breakers to exclude individual customer rate limits from their triggering logic and are continuing work to improve detection and mitigation times.
Jan 20, 16:23 UTC

Update - GitHub Actions customers that use actions-runner-controller are experiencing errors from our APIs that informs auto-scaling. We are investigating the issue and working on mitigating the impact.

Disruption with some GitHub services

Resolved - Between 2026-01-16 16:17 and 2026-01-17 02:54 UTC, some Copilot Business users were unable to access and use certain Copilot features and models. This was due to a bug with how we determine if a user has access to a feature, inadvertently marking features and models as inaccessible for users whose enterprise(s) had not configured the policy.

We mitigated the incident by reverting the problematic deployment. We are improving our internal monitoring and mitigation processes to reduce the risk and extended downtime of similar incidents in the future.

Incident with Issues and Pull Requests

Resolved - On January 15, 2026, between 16:40 UTC and 18:20 UTC, we observed increased latency and timeouts across Issues, Pull Requests, Notifications, Actions, Repositories, API, Account Login and Alive. An average 1.8% of combined web and API requests saw failure, peaking briefly at 10% early on. The majority of impact was observed for unauthenticated users, but authenticated users were impacted as well.

This was caused by an infrastructure update to some of our data stores. Upgrading this infrastructure to a new major version resulted in unexpected resource contention, leading to distributed impact in the form of slow queries and increased timeouts across services that depend on these datasets. We mitigated this by rolling back to the previous stable version.

We are working to improve our validation process for these types of upgrades to catch issues that only occur under high load before full release, improve detection time, and reduce mitigation times in the future.

Actions workflow run and job status updates are experiencing delays

Resolved - On January 15th, between 14:18 UTC and 15:26 UTC, customers experienced delays in status updates for workflow runs and checks. Status updates were delayed by up to 20 minutes, with a median delay of 11 minutes.

The issue stemmed from an infrastructure upgrade to our database cluster. The new version introduced resource contention under production load, causing slow query times. We mitigated this by rolling back to the previous stable version. We are working to strengthen our upgrade validation process to catch issues that only manifest under high load. We are also adding new monitors to reduce detection time for similar issues in the future.
Jan 15, 15:26 UTC

Update - We are continuing to monitor as the system recovers and expect full recovery within the next 20-30 minutes. Impacted users will see that job status appears queued, though the job itself is actually running.

Incident with Webhooks

Resolved - On January 14, 2026, between 19:34 UTC and 21:36 UTC, the Webhooks service experienced a degradation that delayed delivery of some webhooks. During this window, a subset of webhook deliveries that encountered proxy tunnel errors on their initial delivery attempt were delayed by more than two minutes. The root cause was a recent code change that added additional retry attempts for this specific error condition, which increased delivery times for affected webhooks. Previously, webhook deliveries encountering this error would not have been delivered.

The incident was mitigated by rolling back the change, restoring normal webhook delivery.

As a corrective action, we will update our monitoring to measure the webhook delivery latency critical path, ensuring that incidents are accurately scoped to this workflow.
Jan 14, 21:38 UTC

Update - Some webhook deliveries are delayed, but we don’t expect meaningful user impact. The delays are currently scoped only to deliveries that, until recently, would have failed more quickly. We will update status if conditions change.

[Retroactive] Incident with GitHub Copilot (GPT-5 model)

Resolved - From January 14, 2026, at 18:15 UTC until January 15, 2026, at 11:30 UTC, GitHub Copilot users were unable to select the GPT-5 model for chat features in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and other IDE integrations. Users running GPT-5 in Auto mode experienced errors. Other models were not impacted.

We mitigated this incident by deploying a fix that corrected a misconfiguration in available models, rendering the GPT-5 model available again.

We are improving our testing processes to reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future, and refining our model availability alerting to improve detection time.

We did not status before we completed the fix, and the incident is currently resolved. We are sorry for the delayed post on githubstatus.com.

GitHub Copilot failures

Resolved - On January 13th, 2026, between 09:25 UTC and 10:11 UTC, GitHub Copilot experienced unavailability. During this window, error rates averaged 18% and peaked at 100% of service requests, leading to an outage of chat features across Copilot Chat, VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and other Copilot-dependent products.

This incident was triggered by a configuration error during a model update. We mitigated the incident by rolling back this change. However, a second recovery phase lasted until 10:46 UTC, due to unexpected latency with the GPT 4.1 model. To prevent recurrence, we are investing in new monitors and more robust testing environments to reduce further misconfigurations, and to improve our time to detection and mitigation of future issues.

Disruption with some GitHub services

Resolved - From January 9 13:11 UTC to January 12 10:17 UTC, new Linux Custom Images generated for Larger Hosted Runners were broken and not able to run jobs. Customers who did not generate new Custom Images during this period were not impacted. This issue was caused by a change to improve reliability of the image creation process. Due to a bug, the change triggered an unrelated protection mechanism which determines if setup has already been attempted on the VM and caused the VM to be marked unhealthy. Only Linux images which were generated while the change was enabled were impacted. The issue was mitigated by rolling back the change.

We are improving our testing around Custom Image generation as part of our GA readiness process for the public preview feature.. This includes expanding our canary suite to detect this and similar interactions as part of a controlled rollout in staging prior to any customer impact.
