Is GitHub Copilot Down?

Feb 12 , 09:56 UTC Resolved - On February 12, 2026, between 00:51 UTC and 09:35 UTC, users attempting to create or resume Codespaces experienced elevated failure rates across Europe, Asia and Australia, peaking at a 90% failure rate. The disconnects were triggered by a bad configuration rollout in a core networking dependency, which led to internal resource provisioning failures. We are working to improve our alerting thresholds to catch issues before they impact customers and strengthening rollout safeguards to prevent similar incidents. Feb 12 , 09:56 UTC Update - Recovery looks consistent with Codespaces creating and resuming successfully across all regions. Thank you for your patience. Feb 12 , 09:42 UTC Update - Codespaces is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate. Feb 12 , 09:39 UTC Update - We are seeing widespread recovery across all our regions. We will continue to monitor progress and will resolve the incident when we are confident on durable recovery. Feb 12 , 09:04 UTC Update - We have identified the issue causing Codespace create/resume actions to fail and are applying a fix. This is estimated to take ~2 hours to complete but impact will begin to reduce sooner than that. We will continue to monitor recovery progress and will report back when more information is available. Feb 12 , 08:32 UTC Update - We now understand the source of the VM create/resume failures and are working with our partners to mitigate the impact. Feb 12 , 08:02 UTC Update - We are seeing an increase in Codespaces creation and resuming failures across multiple regions, primarily in EMEA. Our team are analysing the situation and are working to mitigate this impact. While we are working, customers are advised to create Codespaces in US East and US West regions via the "New with options..." button when creating a Codespace. More updates as we have them. Feb 12 , 07:53 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded availability for Codespaces

Feb 11 , 15:46 UTC Resolved - 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. Feb 11 , 15:46 UTC Update - Copilot is operating normally. Feb 11 , 15:46 UTC Update - The issues with our upstream model provider have been resolved, and Claude Haiku 4.5 is once again available in Copilot Chat and across IDE integrations. We will continue monitoring to ensure stability, but mitigation is complete. Feb 11 , 15:27 UTC Update - We are experiencing degraded availability for the Claude Haiku 4.5 model in Copilot Chat, VS Code and other Copilot products. This is due to an issue with an upstream model provider. We are working with them to resolve the issue. Other models are available and working as expected. Feb 11 , 15:26 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Copilot

Feb 10 , 15:58 UTC Resolved - On February 10th, 2026, between 14:35 UTC and 15:58 UTC web experiences on GitHub.com were degraded including Pull Requests and Authentication, resulting in intermittent 5xx errors and timeouts. The error rate on web traffic peaked at approximately 2%. This was due to increased load on a critical database, which caused significant memory pressure resulting in intermittent errors. We mitigated the incident by applying a configuration change to the database to increase available memory on the host. We are working to identify changes in load patterns and are reviewing the configuration of our databases to ensure there is sufficient capacity to meet growth. Additionally, we are improving monitoring and self-healing functionalities for database memory issues to reduce our time to detect and mitigation. Feb 10 , 15:58 UTC Update - Pull Requests is operating normally. Feb 10 , 15:51 UTC Update - We have deployed a mitigation for the issue and are observing what we believe is the start of recovery. We will continue to monitor. Feb 10 , 15:47 UTC Update - We believe we have found the cause of the problem and are working on mitigation. Feb 10 , 15:33 UTC Update - We continue investigating intermittent timeouts on some pages. Feb 10 , 15:08 UTC Update - Pull Requests is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate. Feb 10 , 15:08 UTC Update - We are seeing intermittent timeouts on some pages and are investigating. Feb 10 , 15:07 UTC Investigating - We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services.
