## The brief

An internal cleanup task overloaded a shared GitHub database on September 13, 2026, disrupting roughly 28 services, GitHub reports. About 96% of attempts to create issues through the website failed, while token failures also affected Actions workflows. GitHub paused the job and reduced internal load; services recovered by 10:44 UTC. Its incident review calls for broader load safeguards, bounded retries and database separation.
