Update

We have identified a low rate of authentication failures affecting GitHub App server to server tokens, GitHub Actions authentication tokens, and git operations. Some customers may experience intermittent API request failures when using these tokens. We believe we've identified the cause and are working to mitigate impact.

Update

We have rolled out a mitigation and are seeing signs of recovery and are continuing to monitor.
