GitHub is currently facing significant issues affecting multiple services, including Git Hub Actions, Copilot, and Git Hub Enterprise Importer.

Workflow runs are experiencing failures and delays, with jobs potentially queued for extended periods or timing out. Customers using Git Hub-hosted runners are particularly impacted due to constrained capacity. Self-hosted runner users may encounter errors or rate limiting during registration. Additionally, Copilot code review and coding agent functionalities, along with migrations via Git Hub Enterprise Importer, are affected. Webhook deliveries are also experiencing delays.

Engineers have been actively engaged in addressing the disruptions, applying various mitigations and rolling out fixes. Recovery has been slower than anticipated, with continued efforts to restore full functionality across all affected systems. The issues were first reported around 15:22 UTC on August 6, 2026, with updates indicating a gradual, albeit slow, recovery process.
