Billing service config change overwhelmed cache, degrading github.com, Codespaces, Packages, and Actions
A configuration change to an internal billing service caused a shared cache to be overwhelmed, leading to request timeouts and degraded experiences across github.com, Codespaces, Packages, Copilot, and Actions. Web requests returned 5xx errors, Codespaces create and resume requests failed at high rates, and a large fraction of Actions jobs were delayed or failed. The mitigation rolled back or corrected the billing configuration; Actions then drained its queued backlog.
