GitHub Actions is having an outage

[GitHub has declared an incident of their own for this, and we're seeing some percentage of jobs not being picked up at all. We're monitoring the impact of this incident on our customers.](https://www.githubstatus.com/)

We're seeing a massive backlog of queued jobs due to the outage, which is now slowly draining, so you may see jobs being slower to get picked up for the next few minutes.

Even though GitHub has reported their incident as resolved, we’re still seeing delayed job starts for a fraction of jobs. Things are steadily improving as the backlog drains, but you may continue to see slower job starts until recovery is complete.

We are about to issue a cancelation for some subset of queued jobs across orgs. This is in an effort to bring queue times back to normal by trimming down the backlog. Customers can retry the canceled jobs and expect normal operation thereafter.

GitHub has resolved the incident, and job dispatch has returned to normal. Our infrastructure is fully operational and new jobs are being picked up without delay. Earlier, you may have noticed some queued jobs being canceled as part of our mitigation efforts to prevent long backlogs -- this ensured new jobs could start processing quickly. Retrying canceled jobs should see them run normally once again. We’ll continue to keep an eye on metrics, but no further customer impact is expected. We apologize for the inconvenience.
