GitHub Actions Is Down

GitHub reported an ongoing service incident on November 9, 2026, centered on GitHub Actions and the Checks API. The first notice, at 18:12 UTC, said the company was investigating reports of degraded availability for Actions. Two minutes later, GitHub confirmed that Actions availability was degraded. The updates describe reduced reliability, not a complete shutdown.

The disruption spread across several services: Webhooks was reported as degraded at 18:23 UTC, and GitHub said at 18:24 that it was investigating elevated errors affecting both Actions and the Checks API. At 18:30, Pages was also reported to be experiencing degraded performance. The incident’s component list names Webhooks, Actions, and Pages, while the update separately calls out Checks API errors. GitHub said it was continuing to investigate and would provide further information as it learned more. The available report gives no cause, impact estimates, workaround, or resolution time, and contains no notice that service had recovered. For teams relying on automated builds, checks, deployments, webhooks, or Pages, the updates signal possible intermittent failures or delays across those workflows.
