Summary AI Generated

GitHub experienced degraded performance across Actions, Issues, and Pull Requests for approximately 8 hours, with users unable to load the Actions UI, interact with the Checks API, queue workflow runs, create or update issues, or request PR reviews via the UI and APIs. Notifications were also significantly delayed throughout the incident due to a backlog that took several hours to clear after mitigation was applied. The incident was resolved after multiple mitigation attempts, with a root cause analysis to follow.
