Outage in Mergify

Merge queue delays caused by a GitHub incident

Resolved Major
August 17, 2026 - Started 4 days ago - Lasted about 17 hours
Official incident page

Incident Report

GitHub is currently experiencing degraded service on its API and webhook delivery. Their incident is public and you can follow it at https://www.githubstatus.com. This is slowing merge queue processing across Mergify. Since around 13:30 UTC, pull requests are taking longer than usual to be evaluated and merged, and some events from GitHub are reaching us with delay. Your pull requests stay in the queue. There is no need to re-queue them or to change your configuration. Processing catches up as GitHub recovers. We are monitoring and will update this page when the situation changes.
