## The brief

GitHub users saw stale pull-request diffs during a resolved September 1, 2026, processing slowdown. GitHub says a concentrated surge of pushes overwhelmed background workers while autoscaling failed to add capacity as intended. At the peak, median diff refresh time exceeded two minutes, versus roughly three seconds normally. Pushing commits and opening pull requests still worked. Manual capacity increases cleared the backlog by approximately 16:01 UTC.
