Question 1

Is GitHub down right now?

Accepted Answer

No — GitHub is not down. All GitHub systems are reported operational. Checked at 2026-09-23T21:25:22.736Z.

Question 2

What is GitHub's status right now?

Accepted Answer

GitHub is reporting "All Systems Operational" on its official status page — Operational — as of 2026-09-23T21:25:22.736Z. That status feed answered isuptime's last check in 1359 ms. isuptime reads this from GitHub's own published feed and does not test GitHub independently.

Question 3

When did GitHub last go down?

Accepted Answer

The most recent incident GitHub published was "Incident across several services", opened 2026-09-23T10:11:12.845Z, and still open at the time of writing. This is the latest entry in GitHub's own incident feed, not every problem users experienced.

Question 4

What is GitHub's uptime?

Accepted Answer

isuptime does not measure GitHub's uptime directly — it reads GitHub's own published status feed. Over the last 30 days, GitHub's own status feed reported no outage in 99.61% of isuptime's checks. Periods the provider called degraded count as no-outage, and this is isuptime's own measurement, not a contractual SLA.

Question 5

Is it just me, or is GitHub down for everyone?

Accepted Answer

GitHub reports all systems operational, so the problem is likely local to your network, browser or account. Try a different network or device.

Question 6

GitHub says operational but it is not working for me — why?

Accepted Answer

Check that the thing failing is actually GitHub. An `npm install` pulling from the npm registry is an npm problem; a failed deploy may be your host rather than Actions. If pushes hang over SSH, try HTTPS — the two paths fail independently. API calls returning 403 with a rate-limit reset header are throttling, not an outage, and GitHub does not post those on its status page.

Question 7

What does GitHub's status page actually cover?

Accepted Answer

GitHub splits the platform into separate components — Git Operations, API Requests, Actions, Packages, Pages, Codespaces, Copilot, Issues, Pull Requests, Webhooks — and each carries its own status. That granularity matters: Actions can be broken for hours while Git operations stay perfectly healthy, so “GitHub is down” is rarely true of all of GitHub at once. isuptime reads the aggregate indicator, and when it is not green, the component list behind it.

Question 8

Is anything else down right now, or is it just GitHub?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026-09-23T21:25:22.736Z, 9 other services isuptime tracks were also reporting a problem: Cloudflare (Minor Service Outage); Twilio (Partially Degraded Service); Supabase (Partially Degraded Service); Elastic (Partial System Outage); Fly.io (Minor Service Outage); Scaleway (Partially Degraded Service); Snowflake (Partially Degraded Service); Salesforce (Degraded Performance: 1 active incident); PlayStation Network (PlayStation Store affected in Russia). All are checked on one schedule, so the timing is directly comparable — but overlapping in time does not establish a shared cause.
