GH Actions problems are so frequent that they are really not newsworthy anymore. Most of the time they don't even show up on the status page because they seem to be completely random (e.g. manually cancelling and restarting may resolve the issue).
At this point, I think it would be more noteworthy if they cross X days with it working without issue. "Github actions remains online after 180 days" would certainly be a headline.
At this point, a hole in the market is open for a competitor offering a private SaaS solution. The downward trend has had a long tail, but these outages seem to have become business as usual for GitHub in 2026.
I came here to read a knock down drag out flaming fundamental indictment of the entire GitHub Actions ideology and the horse it rode in on, and all I got was this incident report.
Interestingly all the separate enterprise cloud instances show the same thing:

What's the point of (supposedly) separate and isolated data residency deployments if they all have single point of failure?
The point of a data residency thingie is for data residency, not uptime. It's a fig leaf, though - America can access all data residency thingies.
Well, the point is being able to charge enterprise customers more.

It would result in a lot less noise if we got updates for when GitHub is up!
GH nine sixes strikes again

There are some. I'll build one just for you if you sign a contract saying you'll actually use it.
Yet, companies are still choosing Github, so I don't know if all these outages have an impact. https://bloomberry.com/data/github/
So...Gitlab?
Gitea?

Gotta wait an hour for everyone to pile on.
