Mar 27, 2026

Resolved - On March 27, 2026, from 02:30 to 04:56 UTC, a misconfiguration in our rate limiting system caused users on Copilot Free, Student, Pro, and Pro+ plans to experience unexpected rate limit errors. The configuration that was incorrectly applied was intended solely for internal staff testing of rate-limiting experiences. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise accounts were not affected.

During this period, affected users received error messages instructing them to retry after a certain time. Approximately 32% of active Free users, 35% of active Student users, 46% of active Pro users, and 66% of active Pro+ users were affected.

After identifying the root cause, we reverted the change and restored the expected rate limits. We are reviewing our deployment and validation processes to help ensure configurations used for internal testing cannot be inadvertently applied to production environments.

Disruption with some GitHub services

Resolved - On March 22, 2026, between 09:05 UTC and 10:02 UTC, users may have experienced intermittent errors and increased latency when performing Git http read operations. On average, the error rate was 3.84% and peaked at 15.55% of requests to the service. The issue was caused by elevated latency in an internal authentication service within one of our regional clusters. We mitigated the issue by redirecting traffic away from the affected cluster at 09:39 UTC, after which error rates returned to normal. The incident was fully resolved at 10:02 UTC.

We are working to scale the authentication service and reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this one in the future.

Disruption with Copilot Coding Agent Sessions

Resolved - On March 19, 2026, between 01:05 UTC and 02:52 UTC, and again on March 20, 2026, between 00:42 UTC and 01:58 UTC, the Copilot Coding Agent service was degraded and users were unable to start new Copilot Agent sessions or view existing ones. During the first incident, the average error rate was ~53% and
peaked at ~93% of requests to the service. During the second incident, the average error rate was ~99%% and peaked at ~100%% of requests with significant retry amplification. Both incidents were caused by the same underlying system authentication issue that prevented the service from connecting to its
backing datastore.

We mitigated each incident by rotating the affected credentials, which restored connectivity and returned error rates to normal. The mitigation time was 01:24. The second occurrence was due to an incomplete remediation of the first.

We are implementing automated monitoring for credential lifecycle events and improving operational processes to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this one in the future.
Mar 20, 01:58 UTC

Update - We are rolling out our mitigation and are seeing recovery.
Mar 20, 01:26 UTC

Webhook delivery is delayed

Resolved - On March 18, 2026, between 18:18 UTC and 19:46 UTC all webhook deliveries experienced elevated latency. During this time, average delivery latency increased from a baseline of approximately 5 seconds to a peak of approximately 160 seconds. This was due to resource constraints in the webhook delivery pipeline, which caused queue backlog growth and increased delivery latency. We mitigated the incident by shifting traffic and adding capacity, after which webhook delivery latency returned to normal. We are working to improve capacity management and detection in the webhook delivery pipeline to help prevent similar issues in the future.
Mar 18, 19:46 UTC

Update - We are seeing recovery and are continuing to monitor the latency for webhook deliveries

Errors starting and connecting to Codespaces

Resolved - On 16 March 2026, between 14:16 UTC and 15:18 UTC, Codespaces users encountered a download failure error message when starting newly created or resumed codespaces. At peak, 96% of the created or resumed codespaces were impacted. Active codespaces with a running VSCode environment were not affected.

The error was a result of an API deployment issue with our VS Code remote experience dependency and was resolved by rolling back that deployment. We are working with our partners to reduce our incident engagement time, improve early detection before they impact our customers, and ensure safe rollout of similar changes in the future.
Mar 16, 15:28 UTC

Update - Errors starting or resuming Codespaces have resolved.
Mar 16, 15:27 UTC
