Published incident duration: 120 minutes.
On November 4, 2026, beginning at approximately 09:35 UTC, customers experienced intermittent errors and delays across several GitHub services, including Pull Requests, Issues, APIs, Git operations, and Actions. The disruption was caused by a shared database reaching capacity. We restored service by switching to another database host. Recovery began around 11:24 UTC, and the remaining Actions impact was mitigated by 11:43 UTC. The incident was resolved at 11:50 UTC. We have since made changes to reduce database load, increased capacity, and added monitoring to help identify similar problems earlier. We are also improving our recovery procedures.
