Addressing recent availability issues

GitHub has recently experienced several availability incidents, both long running and shorter duration. These incidents have now been resolved, but if you’d like a look inside what happened and how we’ll be mitigating them in future, take a look at this blog post from GitHub Chief Security Officer Mike Hanley.

Temporary authorization holds on metered products

If you’re using products that use metered billing (that’s billing per quantity, such as storage or compute hours, for products like Actions, Packages, or Codespaces) then you may see temporary authorization holds placed on the billing cards for these accounts. These will appear as pending and will be immediately reversed once approved by your bank. You will not be charged for these holds.

That’s all for this time! See you in the next edition ✨
