On August 26, 2026, between 20:40 UTC and 00:51 UTC on August 27, GitHub Billing experienced degraded performance affecting billing budget pages and GitHub Copilot CLI sessions.

What to do next
- Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
- Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
- Watch the provider going forward. Follow GitHub's status feed →
GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
