Github has recently changed the way their status page tracks uptime in the name of "transparency"[0]. "Partial Outages" are now only worth 30% of their duration, and "Degraded Performance" is worth none, so their uptime values are now wildly inflated.

It seems that for "actions", the trailing twelve months availability is 98.67%.

Trailing 3 months is even worse :/

Yesterday's ≈5h long incident with the Pull Requests page being blank is listed as 1h 47m.

My org noticed the incident at 12:19p ET, Github pushed their first update at 12:38p, and pushed that it was mitigated at 5:48p.

…And at this point probably not one but two 9s (or possibly more) of security vulnerabilities [1]

For all the hate it gets, I use them regularly with little to no complaints.

I have always found it as a pretty nice to have feature if I am already using GitHub. It’s far from perfect or robust but I can get a lot of use out of it with low to no friction.

And now it has an outage https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/dbypmw7h77l5
