Live GitHub Actions status. See if GitHub Actions is down, view recent outages, and get real-time alerts when problems start.
GitHub Actions is operational
IsDown pulls data from GitHub's status page every few minutes and collects user-reported issues. Refresh the page to see if there are any updates.
This chart displays the number of user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, grouped into 20-minute intervals. It's normal to see occasional reports, which may be due to individual user issues rather than a broader problem. We only consider an issue widespread if there are multiple reports within a short timeframe.
IsDown has tracked 147 incidents for GitHub Actions since started monitoring GitHub status in April 2020. We collect data from 4200+ services, and normalize the data to give you a clear picture of the impact of the outage.

All Third-Party Status Pages in One Dashboard
Services commonly monitored together with GitHub
GitHub Actions integrates with the GitHub API to automate repository tasks, trigger workflow runs, and manage job execution. Developers can use the REST API and GraphQL API to query job statuses, retrieve logs, and debug workflows efficiently.
Required status checks ensure that workflows meet predefined conditions before allowing a merge. If a check fails, GitHub prevents the PR from merging until the issue is resolved. These checks enhance code quality, repository security, and workflow reliability.
When a pull request (PR) is created, GitHub Actions can automatically validate code changes. This includes running tests, checking repository configurations, and enforcing branch protections like required status checks and automatic approvals before merging.
Common failures in GitHub Actions may be due to misconfigurations, missing dependencies, API rate limits, or permission restrictions. Checking workflow runs, adjusting configuration settings, and reviewing log outputs in the Actions tab can help diagnose and fix problems.
The dashboard provides a central view of running workflows, failed jobs, and execution logs. Developers can track workflow progress, restart failed jobs, and analyze logs for debugging to improve automation and reliability.
GitHub Actions automates deployment by integrating with cloud providers, running custom scripts, and validating commit histories. Using webhooks and environment protection rules, workflows can be triggered automatically upon code changes, ensuring seamless rollouts.
Currently there's no report of GitHub Actions being slow. Check on the top of the page if there are any reported problems by other users.
IsDown monitors the GitHub Actions official status page every few minutes. We also get reports from users like you. If there are enough reports about an outage, we'll show it on the top of the page.
GitHub Actions last outage was on May 28, 2025 with the title "Disruption with some GitHub services"
IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if a service is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information. The integration allows us to provide more details about the outage, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
IsDown offers an easy way to monitor GitHub with maximum flexibility
IsDown monitors Actions for major outages. A major outage is when Actions experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. When GitHub marks an incident as a major outage, IsDown updates its internal status, the customer status page and dashboard. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown monitors GitHub status page for minor outages. A minor outage is when Actions experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. When a minor outage occurs, IsDown updates its internal status and shares that information on the customer status page. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown collects all information from the outages published in GitHub status page to provide the most accurate information. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.
GitHub publishes scheduled maintenance events on their status page. IsDown collects all the information for each event and creates a feed that people can follow to ensure they are not surprised by unexpected downtime or problems. We also send the feed in our weekly report, alerting the next maintenances that will take place.
IsDown monitors GitHub and all their 11 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.
GitHub and other vendors don’t always report outages on time. Our crowdsourced status platform helps you stay ahead of outages. Users report issues and outages, sharing details on what problems they are facing. We use that info to provide early signs of outages. This way, even without an official update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
