Not just search but it seems opening PRs is also impacted

[github-actions[bot]]

Update

Users are experiencing intermittent failures to view issues, pull requests, projects and Actions workflow runs.

We are still investigating and attempting mitigations. We will provide further updates.

The search is completely broken. For example, if you go to nixpkgs, a repository with over 5k+ open pull requests, it can not find a single pull request without any filters.

Update

We're continuing to see connectivity issues reaching elasticsearch. Impact on downstream services will be intermittent as we find the root cause

[Lyky35]

Viewing new issues appear to be also an issue

For me this domain is blocked because of my adblocker. It is just some sort of real-user monitoring / analytics, probably not related.

[Lyky35]

that could be the case; it might have been blocked by my dns filtering.

Update

We have identified the source of the additional load causing stress on our ElasticSearch clusters. We have disabled the source of that load and are seeing signs of recovery

Update

We've applied a mitigation and continuing to monitor

[DanielRuf]

That were some long 5 hours.

Incident Resolved

This incident has been resolved.

[phraemer]

The incident has not been resolved. I still have a missing PRs.
The "Pull Requests" tab button at the top shows the correct number of open PRs but they don't show below it in the list.

[DanielRuf]

Confirmed, the numbers are definitely not right.

Here I can see "853" at the top, but only "236" when clicking on the open PRs:

[DanielRuf]

Now they have added a banner to the view. Not sure if most will use the API or CLI (with its telemetry enabled by default).

Looks like this will take a bit longer to have the correct data shown.

[phraemer]

My missing PRs now show up

Update

Actions is experiencing capacity constraints with hosted ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-24.02, leading to high wait times. Other hosted labels and self-hosted runners are not impacted.
