GitHub Actions Is Having One of the Worst Days in Its History

“500M minutes a week in 2023, to 1B a week in 2025, to 2.1B in a single week this spring.”

Seven hours and 26 minutes of major downtime, second only to a 2021 outage. Webhooks were throttled to 15 percent and a third of queued jobs never finished. GitHub has said nothing about the cause. Actions minutes doubled in a year because agents now push commits and wait on CI, and the platform everyone routed their release process through has no answer for that load.
