By 17:25 UTC+8, the incident had been widened to cover impaired GitHub Actions performance, with the investigation still underway.
The latest update, posted at 17:36 UTC+8, points to elevated replication lag in the collaboration system (collab) database — a hiccup that's inflating authorization errors and driving error rates up across the whole platform. Engineers are still digging in.
