Resolved - From March 12, 2024 23:39 UTC to March 13, 2024 1:58 UTC, some Pull Requests updates were delayed and did not reflect the latest code that had been pushed. On average, 20% of Pull Requests page loads were out of sync and up to 30% of Pull Requests were impacted at peak. An internal component of our job queueing system was incorrectly handling invalid messages, resulting in stalled processing.

We mitigated the incident by shipping a fix to handle the edge case gracefully and allow processing to continue.

Once the fix was deployed at 1:47 UTC, our systems fully caught up with pending background jobs at 1:58 UTC.

We’re working to improve resiliency to invalid messages in our system to prevent future delays for these pull request updates. We are also reviewing our monitoring and observability to identify and remediate these types of failure cases faster.

Resolved - On March 11, 2024 starting at 22:45 UTC and ending on March 12, 2024 00:48 UTC various GitHub services were degraded and returned intermittent errors for users. During this incident, the following customer impacts occurred: API error rates as high as 1%, Copilot error rates as high as 17%, and Secret Scanning and 2FA using GitHub Mobile error rates as high as 100% followed by a drop in error rates to 30% starting at 22:55 UTC. This elevated error rate was due to a degradation of our centralized authentication service upon which many other services depend.

The issue was caused by a deployment of network related configuration that was inadvertently applied to the incorrect environment. This error was detected within 4 minutes and a rollback was initiated. While error rates began dropping quickly at 22:55 UTC, the rollback failed in one of our data centers, leading to a longer recovery time. At this point, many failed requests succeeded upon retrying. This failure was due to an unrelated issue that had occurred earlier in the day where the datastore for our configuration service was polluted in a way that required manual intervention. The bad data in the configuration service caused the rollback in this one datacenter to fail. A manual removal of the incorrect data allowed the full rollback to complete at 00:48 UTC thereby restoring full access to services. We understand how the corrupt data was deployed and continue to investigate why the specific data caused the subsequent deployments to fail.

We are working on various measures to ensure safety of this kind of configuration change, faster detection of the problem via better monitoring of the related subsystems, and improvements to the robustness of our underlying configuration system including prevention and automatic cleanup of polluted records such that we can automatically recover from this kind of data issue in the future.

Resolved - On March 11, 2024 between at 18:44 UTC and 19:10 UTC, GitHub Actions performance was degraded and some users experienced errors when trying to queue workflows. Approximately 3.7% of runs queued during this time were unable to start.

The issue was partially caused by a deployment of an internal system Actions relies on to process workflow run events. The pausing of the queue processing during this deployment for about 3 minutes caused a spike in queued workflow runs. When this queue began to be processed, the high number of queued workflows overwhelmed a secret-initialization component of the workflow invocation system. The errors generated by this overwhelmed system ultimately delayed workflow invocation. Through our alerting system, we received initial indications of an issue at approximately 18:44 UTC. However, we did not initially see impact on our run start delays and run queuing availability metrics until approximately 18:52 UTC. As the large queue of workflow run events burned down, we saw recovery in our key customer impact measures by 19:11 UTC, but waited to declare the incident resolved at 19:22 UTC while verifying there was no further customer impact.

We are working on various measures to reduce spikes in queue build up during deployments of our queueing system, and have scaled up the workers which handle secret generation and storage during the workflow invocation process.

Mar 11, 19:22 UTC
Update - Actions experienced a period of decreased workflow run throughput, and we are seeing recovery now. We are in the process of investigating the cause.
Mar 11, 19:21 UTC
Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Actions
Mar 11, 19:02 UTC
Resolved - On March 11, 2024, between 06:30 UTC and 11:45 UTC the Copilot Chat service was degraded and customers may have encountered errors or timed out requests for chat interactions. On average, the error rate was 10% and peaked at 45% of requests to the service for short periods of time.

This was due to a gap in handling an edge case for messages returned from the underlying language models. We mitigated the incident by applying a fix to the handling of the streaming response.

We are working to update monitoring to reduce time to detection and increase resiliency to message format changes.

Mar 11, 10:20 UTC
Update - We are deploying mitigations for the failures we have been observing in some chat requests for Copilot. We will continue to monitor and update.
