Slow checkouts and downloads in us-east and us-west

Update timeline

1. investigating Oct 27, 2026, 07:13 PM UTC

   Jobs on Linux runners in us-east are seeing severely slow downloads from GitHub and Google services and in us-west slow downloads from GitHub. This includes actions/checkout, git clone/git fetch, downloading actions from github.com, and pulls from Google Container Registry / Artifact Registry. Jobs that depend on these may run much longer than usual or time out. The job slowdown is also leading to increased job adoption times in those regions.

2. identified Oct 27, 2026, 07:31 PM UTC

   Download speeds for jobs in us-east have recovered and the region is back to operational. Jobs in us-west are still seeing slow downloads from GitHub while our network provider works on the issue.

3. monitoring Oct 27, 2026, 07:39 PM UTC

   Download speeds in us-west have recovered and both US regions are back to operational. Affected jobs can be re-run and should complete normally. We are continuing to monitor and will post an update once we have confirmed stability.

4. resolved Oct 27, 2026, 08:20 PM UTC

   This incident has been resolved. Download speeds in us-east and us-west are back to normal, and affected jobs can be re-run.
