GitHub Copilot Degraded Performance - August 26, 2026

We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Actions and Pull Requests

We are investigating elevated delays and timeouts affecting Actions workflow runs triggered by pull request events. 20% of actions runs have delayed starts of more than 5 minutes and up to 4% of runs failed to trigger. We are actively working on mitigation and will provide updates as we learn more.

We've applied mitigations and are seeing recovery in Actions workflow runs and blocked pull request merges. We're continuing to monitor for sustained health of merge commit creates before resolving.

We confirmed full recovery beginning at 23:58 UTC. Actions workflow runs and pull request merges are operating normally. We will now resolve the incident while continuing to monitor service health.

The degradation affecting Actions and Pull Requests has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability.

This incident has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we addressed this issue. A detailed root cause analysis will be shared as soon as it is available.
