GitHub outage traced to autoscaling, VS Code retry bug

3 min read

GitHub's 7-hour, 47-minute outage on August 17 stemmed from saturated load balancers, a misconfigured autoscaling policy, and a VS Code retry bug that amplified Copilot traffic 10x. Services recovered by 2115 UTC. GitHub will fix policies and review retry limits.
