On Oct 12, 2026 GitHub reported degraded performance affecting Actions, Issues, and Pull Requests. The incident began with an investigation at 12:21 UTC and by 12:33 UTC GitHub described concrete user-facing failures: the Actions tab UI failed to load reliably, the Checks API and queueing of new Actions runs were disrupted, creating and updating issues failed, and requesting pull request reviews via REST and GraphQL APIs was impacted. A mitigation was put in place and monitored starting at 12:57 UTC, during which web notifications were delayed. At 13:02 UTC Pull Requests returned to normal operation, but by 13:38 UTC GitHub acknowledged the initial mitigation had not fully resolved the problem and users continued to experience delays and errors with Actions, issues and projects while engineers continued root-cause investigation and additional mitigations.
The status update lists Issues, Pull Requests and Actions as impacted components and documents the sequence of actions taken and their partial effects. Users were offered multiple subscription channels for incident updates (email, SMS, Slack, webhooks, RSS/Atom). The message communicates current operational state - partial recovery for pull requests with ongoing problems for Actions and issues - and indicates continued active monitoring and remediation efforts.
