Timeline

The provider has not published any updates for this incident that we could store. It is still listed as open, so it may already be fixed.

What to do right now

  • Check the provider's own status page. Open GitHub's official status page ↗
  • Don't restart everything. If the outage is upstream (cloud provider, CDN, auth provider), redeploying your own service usually won't help and may make recovery slower.
  • Communicate early. Even a one-line update to your users referencing the upstream incident reduces support load dramatically.
  • Watch this page. We post each new vendor update and source as it lands. Bookmark or share the URL with your team.

GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
