-
Chahat Sharma (@Chahatxsharma) reported@github What is wrong with every platform? Why everyone is going on the usage basis? Literally, I'm fed up with the usage limits. Same recently did Claude, then chat GPT is having also limit issue and now see this is only left too heard.
-
Kevin VZB (@kevinvzb) reported@thorstenball GitHub, like every Microsoft acquisition, being progressively dragged down to the dirt of how Microsoft works internally. Nothing to do with AI, the same would have happened, albeit slower, without it.
-
Abdulmuiz Adeyemo (@AbdMuizAdeyemo) reported@theo Github is down? Wtf 😳
-
Ajay Dhillon (@dhillonpost) reportedGitHub is turning into a landfill of machine-written code. Public commits hit ~1.94B in 2025, up 43% YoY. That is ~5.3M commits a day. The old problem was: can humans write enough code? The new problem is: can machines read, verify, and maintain all of it?

Andre Papi (@daphay7) reportedYo is #github down or what? i cant carryout any *** operation and trying to view my repo is not opening the #github site.
-
sun(PhD) (@nightingale_dev) reportedIs github down or is Airtel being unfortunate??
-
Sam Erde (@SamErde) reported🚨 Is @GitHub down for anyone else? By "down," I mean "not showing any PRs or issues." 🫣
-
CaptainCodeman (@CaptainCodeman) reported@GergelyOrosz I lost a load of issues, they showed up hours later after I'd wasted more time re-creating them. Github is getting flakier the more AI they add and use.
-
Tre (@tregoudeau) reported@warpdotdev @zachlloydtweets Fix your account auth so I can log in with my GitHub account.
-
KDirectorate (@KDirectorate) reportedSo the way Github Copilot works is you pay for AI credits, then they get to decide how much AI you get for those credits and can change that amount while you still hold the credits you bought. Fantastic system. I wish I'd thought of it. I have a trouble screwing customers though so it probably wouldn't have worked out if I did.
-
Dylan Mikus (@dbmikus) reported@lucasmeijer I agree as a default, I just want a fallback to share code for when GitHub goes down
-
Ayush (@ayuszzzz) reported@RhysSullivan Daam GitHub is down now npm too what the hell happening
-
PiX (@pa1nark) reportedsai ashish y, why are you like this bro? you created a github account in 2025, started spamming oss left right and center using your clankers... horrible! i checked the account at 10:28, this guy had 545 repos. its 12:40 now, 549 repos! empty repos, forks, typo fixes, minor single file changes, oh god! people like you are the reason why github is broken today, open source is flooded with ****. this culture must end.
-
Ben Miller (@bensen) reportedGPU prices could finally go down thanks to eLLM, a new LLM inference framework that promises to infer LLM on CPUs (Xeon, EPYC) faster than on GPUs. The first alpha release of eLLM is available on Github. While the prices for GPUs skyrocketed, the prices for Mainboards and CPUs tanked because CPUs were not that important for LLM inference. Until now. An AMD EPYC 9575F today costs roughly half of what it did a year ago.

Ibrahim Tanyalcin (@ibrhmTanyalcin) reportedFirst Github PRs go to abyss and now npm is down. "agentic" f*ck up 👌
-
Gee Gee (@gagan_deep7) reportedNow that github is down again. I am just so over it. Are there any alternatives?
-
ahmet (@bruvimtired) reported@madewithmiso github is down, we cant
-
BlackWolfNews (@BlackWolfNews) reported@kdaigle @fjzeit @GitHubCopilot I got zero problems with y'all charging for actual use, I mean you are Microsoft and can't code your way out of a wet paper back, evidenced by the fact that GitHub is almost down as much as it is up, but I think you could have the credits in smaller increments, like $10 a pop, offer bigger bundles for a slight discount.
-
Mohammed Nafees (@mnafees) reported@github cool, now go fix your infra
-
Unemployed Capital Allocator (@atelicinvest) reportedState of the SaaS market, 2026 GitHub is literally down to zero nines of reliability and randomly deleting stuff Surely there is a solution for something super critical "The problem is that I have to pay 29 bucks a month"
-
Sree (@eersnington) reported@JeffKazzee @theo @giteaio yeah it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence but i’ll still take a look as that text issue is better than any random github outage last since last week
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reported@Pirat_Nation I just had a github bot gaslight and patronise me on a PR.; Where it made mistakes of non existent methods wasting my time. Its so mentally ill it had to spell out what I just did also. The cmake is clearly half baked vibe coded as it was completely broken for Windows, I fixed.
-
こりもと@古の国盗りゃー (@corimoto7700) reported@74EOEN I re-downloaded it from GitHub, and everything seems to be working fine so far. I’ll let you know if the issue happens again. Thanks!
-
D. (@D_Twitt3r) reported@loyalesoul @github Hence my question of pay-as-you-go. If adopting a true usage based pricing model, why have monthly subs at all? Anyone can go buy $100 of OpenRouter API credits then draw down on that based on use/model. GitHub Copilot should be similar if they’ve adopted usage based
-
Don Montegarza (@aiDidThisToo) reported@satyanadella @jeffhollan fix github
-
luna (@ImLunaHey) reportedanyone know why @plainsupport suggests their new js sdk requires node 25+? i'd ask on github but they have issues disabled for some reason..
-
benoît chesneau (@benoitc) reported@henryksarat @johncrickett github was down for 2h, amazone last year too, twitter also. Same for oracle , ... Availability is not just about engineering .
-
Hari (@hrkrshnn) reportedPeople make fun of GitHub's performance issues, but if they actually manage to make GitHub scale to handle the billion commits being made by agents every minute, nobody will be able to catch up.
-
管震震 Zhenzhen Guan (@zzgo_sh) reportedI encountered this issue as well. After troubleshooting, it is highly likely caused by the GitHub app connected to the Codex app and ChatGPT. I resolved the issue by disconnecting them in both places: [codex app - plugins - github - remove from codex] and [chatgpt[.]com - apps - github - disconnect].
-
Nishant Mogha (@nimocodes) reportedSerious questions @github why can't you guys provide models like Kimi, GLM, Minimax, etc. I know it's very hard to subsidize gpt and claude models when you have a $10 plan. But no one will have an issue with those on the base plan at least.
