Update timeline

  1. investigating Sep 24, 2026, 07:16 PM UTC

    We are investigating degraded network connectivity between our us-west region and GitHub. Customers running jobs in us-west may see slower-than-normal git checkouts, while jobs in other regions are not affected.

  2. monitoring Sep 24, 2026, 07:31 PM UTC

    After rerouting traffic, congestion on the upstream network link has subsided, and git checkout performance in us-west has returned to normal. We are monitoring and will resolve this incident once performance has continued to stay stable.

  3. resolved Sep 24, 2026, 07:50 PM UTC

    Git checkout performance in us-west has remained stable since we rerouted traffic away from the congested upstream network link, and this incident is now resolved.
