GitHub experienced a 6.8-hour incident where project board updates were significantly delayed, with newly added issues, pull requests, and field changes taking up to 5 hours to appear instead of the normal near-real-time behavior. The GitHub Issues component was affected, causing degraded performance for project management workflows. GitHub deployed a fix that restored normal processing speeds and cleared the backlog of delayed updates, fully resolving the incident.
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.
The backlog of delayed updates is expected to fully clear within approximately 1 hour, after which project board updates will return to near-real-time.
The fix has been deployed and processing speeds have returned to normal. There is a backlog of delayed updates that will continue to be worked through — we're estimating how long that will take and will provide an update in the next 60 minutes.
The fix is still building and is expected to deploy within 60 minutes. The current delay for GitHub Projects updates has increased to up to 5 hours.
We're deploying a fix targeting the increased delay in GitHub Projects updates. The rollout should complete within 60 minutes. If successful, the current delay of up to 4 hours should begin to decrease.
The delay for project board updates has increased to up to 3 hours. We've identified a potential cause and are working on remediation.
Project board updates — including adding issues, pull requests, and changing fields such as "Status" — are currently delayed by 1–2 hours. Normal behavior is near-real-time. We're actively investigating the root cause.
The impact extends beyond adding issues to project boards. Adding pull requests and updating fields such as "Status" may also be affected. We're continuing to investigate the root cause.
Newly added issues are taking 30–60 minutes to appear on project boards, compared to the normal near-real-time behavior. We're investigating the root cause and possible mitigations.
Newly added issues can take up to 30 minutes to appear on project boards. We're investigating the cause of this delay.
Issues is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate.
We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services.
