Resolved:
Published incident duration: 47 minutes.
On November 9, 2026, between 18:07 and 18:59 UTC, GitHub Actions experienced degraded performance. During this time, some customers saw workflow runs fail to start, update or report status correctly. An average of 28% of workflow runs were affected, peaking at 65% during the worst period of the incident. Once Actions services recovered, some jobs were left in a state that limited available concurrency until the runs were released. The incident occurred during a planned migration of a core Actions database from GitHub’s datacenter to a new cloud region. After the migration completed, we shifted Actions service traffic to the new region. The volume of requests exceeded the capacity
