GitHub's status page reported an issue starting Nov 9, 2026, 1:18 PM ET, until Nov 9, 2026, 1:50 PM ET. Our own checks and user reports did not confirm an outage, so we do not list it as one. Source: GitHub's status page.

How we determined this

  • Our checks: 0 of 6 failed.
  • Regions where our checks failed: 0 of 4.
  • User reports: up to 0 in 15 minutes.
  • Vendor status page: reported a partial outage.
  • Independent sources that agreed: 1 of 3 (our checks, user reports, the vendor). We only call it a confirmed outage when at least 2 agree.
  • Confidence: 20%. It comes only from our own evidence; the vendor status page adds a little only when our checks or user reports agree.

  • If Actions is stuck, re-run the workflow later; queued jobs usually start once the incident clears.
