About GitHub Status
BlueMonitor checks GitHub (github.com) by sending automated requests to its servers. If the service responds within a normal timeframe and returns a successful status code, it's marked as operational. Response times over 3 seconds indicate the service is slow, and connection failures or server errors indicate the service may be down.

We are seeing elevated errors with Next Edit Suggestions and Completions
Jun 23 , 23:29 UTC Resolved - On June 23, 2026, between 22:45 and 23:29 UTC, GitHub Copilot Completions and Next Edit Suggestions were degraded for users in all regions. During this window, affected users may have seen failed or missing code completions and Next Edit Suggestions. On average about 25% of Completions and Next Edit Suggestions requests failed during the impact window, peaking at roughly 27%. The cause was a configuration change that prevented the Copilot service from obtaining the authentication tokens it needs to reach its model backends; this both failed requests directly and caused the service to temporarily remove backends from rotation. GitHub engineers detected the elevated error rate within minutes, declared an incident, and mitigated the issue at 23:22 UTC by redeploying the service with a known-good configuration, which restored normal operation. As a follow-up, the team disabled the affected authentication path to prevent a future deployment from re-introducing the problem, and is making the change rollout safer. We apologize for the disruption and are taking steps to reduce the likelihood of similar incidents. Jun 23 , 23:27 UTC Monitoring - The degradation has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability. Jun 23 , 23:26 UTC Update - We have applied a rollback and are seeing recovery. Jun 23 , 23:04 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services.
Incident With Webhooks
Jun 17 , 19:00 UTC Resolved - On June 17, 2026, between 11:35 UTC and 19:20 UTC, the Webhooks service was degraded and delivered webhook payloads with missing installation information. On average, 11.3% of webhook deliveries were impacted. Customers relying on the installation field for authentication or routing were unable to process affected webhooks. A smaller subset of deliveries for the security_advisory event (0.04%) were delivered successfully but were not recorded for redelivery. This was due to a defect in a new delivery code path that failed to include installation data in webhook payloads. We mitigated the incident by disabling the feature flag controlling the new code path. We are working to improve our automated validation of webhook payloads, and introduce automated alerting for webhook payload regressions to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this one in the future. The following events were affected: branch_protection_configuration, code_scanning_alert, commit_comment, custom_property, custom_property_values, dependabot_alert, deploy_key, deployment_protection_rule, deployment_review, dismissal_request_code_scanning, dismissal_request_secret_scanning, installation_target, member, membership, merge_queue_entry, org_block, organization, projects_v2, projects_v2_item, pull_request_review_thread, repository_ruleset, secret_scanning_alert, secret_scanning_alert_location, secret_scanning_scan, security_and_analysis, star, sub_issues, team, team_add, workflow_job.
Disruption with Copilot next edit suggestions
Jun 17 , 19:28 UTC Resolved - On June 17, 2026, between 16:57 UTC and 19:14 UTC, Copilot code completions were degraded and users were unable to receive Next Edit Suggestions. Standard ghost text code completions were not affected. This was due to a configuration change that caused the service's routing layer to incorrectly discard all Next Edit Suggestion model endpoints as invalid. We mitigated the incident by deploying a corrected configuration change at 18:55 UTC, with full recovery observed at 19:14 UTC. We are working to improve the resilience of our routing layer to limit impact due to a subset of invalid configurations, and to improve our alerting to detect sudden traffic changes that are not captured by standard error rate monitors. Jun 17 , 19:14 UTC Monitoring - The degradation has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability. Jun 17 , 19:09 UTC Update - We have applied mitigation and are seeing recovery Jun 17 , 18:40 UTC Update - We have identified a likely cause and are applying a mitigation Jun 17 , 17:57 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services.
Incident with Copilot Availability
Jun 17 , 04:44 UTC Resolved - On June 17, 2026, between approximately 03:35 UTC and 04:44 UTC, GitHub Copilot was degraded and most of its frontier chat models were temporarily unavailable across all regions. During this window, affected models either disappeared from the model picker in the web, editor, and CLI experiences, or returned a "model not available" error when selected. Customers could continue using GitHub Copilot by selecting one of the models that remained available. The incident occurred during off-peak hours, which limited the number of customers affected. This was due to a configuration change that our production system deemed invalid. We mitigated the incident by reverting the configuration change, after which the affected models returned automatically as the service reloaded the previous configuration. We are working to roll out configuration changes gradually with stronger validations, alerts on sudden drops in the number of available models, and automatically rolls back configuration changes that produce these alerts. Jun 17 , 04:44 UTC Monitoring - Copilot is operating normally. Jun 17 , 04:26 UTC Update - We've applied a mitigation to unblock Copilot functionality. Users may start to see signs of recovery. Relaunching your client should accelerate signs of recovery. We will continue to monitor the situation. Jun 17 , 03:52 UTC Update - We are experiencing degraded availability for chat & agent models in Copilot. Multiple models are impacted and customers may experience requests failing. We are investigating and will provide an update as soon as possible. Jun 17 , 03:50 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded availability for Copilot
Disruption with some GitHub services
Jun 16 , 18:15 UTC Resolved - On June 16, 2026, between 17:20 UTC and 18:15 UTC, the Opus 4.8 model experienced degraded availability in GitHub Copilot. During this window, some requests to Opus 4.8 failed or errored. Other Copilot models were not affected and remained available as alternatives. This was caused by an issue with an upstream model provider. The upstream provider resolved the issue, and we monitored Opus 4.8 until success rates returned to normal. The incident is fully resolved. Jun 16 , 18:14 UTC Update - The issues with our upstream model provider have been resolved, and Opus 4.8 is once again available in Copilot products and IDE surfaces. We will continue monitoring to ensure stability, but mitigation is complete. Jun 16 , 18:00 UTC Monitoring - The degradation affecting Copilot AI Model Providers has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability. Jun 16 , 17:47 UTC Update - We are experiencing degraded availability for the Opus 4.8 model in Copilot products and IDE surfaces. This is due to an issue with an upstream model provider. While we work with them to resolve the issue, we recommend choosing another model or selecting 'Auto' to continue using Copilot. Jun 16 , 17:45 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded availability for Copilot AI Model Providers
Multiple services have elevated errors and endpoint failures when checking feature flags
Jun 15 , 19:10 UTC Resolved - Between 17:38 UTC and 18:22 UTC on June 15, 2026, approximately 83% of requests to the analytics endpoint serving the /chronicle feature failed. The cause was an internal feature-flag service that encountered a transient error and failed to recover, causing feature flag checks to fail. The analytics endpoint was gated behind one of these flags, resulting in requests being rejected. We restored service health by removing the feature flag gating the analytics endpoint and deploying that change. To avoid recurrence of similar incidents, we have changed the feature-flag client so that errors that are not known to be permanent are retried, and we are improving alerting and startup behavior so this class of failure is detected and recovered from faster. Jun 15 , 19:10 UTC Update - We identified an issue with feature flag checks that caused elevated errors and endpoint failures across multiple GitHub Copilot services. Customers may have experienced failed requests or degraded functionality. A fix has been deployed and error rates are steadily decreasing. All affected services are now mitigated and we are monitoring recovery. Jun 15 , 19:02 UTC Monitoring - The degradation has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability. Jun 15 , 18:32 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services.
Increased latency with webhooks
Jun 15 , 17:37 UTC Resolved - On June 15, 2026, between 15:27 UTC and 16:23 UTC, GitHub webhook deliveries were delayed. During this window, webhook events were delivered later than normal, with average end-to-end delivery latency peaking at approximately 8.8 minutes. No webhook deliveries were lost — delayed events were queued and delivered once processing recovered. This was caused by a temporary throughput constraint in an internal event-processing system that moves webhook events through GitHub's delivery pipeline. The rate at which events were processed for delivery dropped below the incoming volume, creating a backlog. We restarted the affected pipeline service, after which throughput recovered and the backlog fully drained by approximately 16:29 UTC. Webhook delivery latency returned to normal, the incident was mitigated at 16:39 UTC, and fully resolved at 17:37 UTC. To reduce the likelihood and impact of similar incidents, we are working on improving the accuracy of the utilization metrics used to scale our delivery worker pools, reviewing connection and capacity headroom in the delivery pipeline. Jun 15 , 16:39 UTC Monitoring - The degradation affecting Webhooks has been mitigated. We are monitoring to ensure stability. Jun 15 , 16:39 UTC Update - Webhooks delivery latency has returned to normal levels. The backlog that built up during the incident has been cleared at approximately 4:29 UTC. We consider this incident resolved. Jun 15 , 15:37 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Webhooks
