During the incident, some Actions Runner Controller (ARC) runner pods became stuck in an idle state. Affected users can delete those pods using kubectl or redeploy their Actions Runner Controller application. ARC will automatically create replacement runners.

System-wide queues have been drained, and new jobs are being processed as expected. The fix for self-hosted runners not picking up jobs has been fully rolled out.

We have deployed fixes that address runners being assigned invalid jobs and are taking additional steps to clear the backlog of affected jobs. Job completion rates for running workflows have improved significantly, with success rates now at 99%. Global queues for hosted runner assignment are nearly burned down and concurrency queues for customers are being processed. Another change was deployed to accelerate processing the backlog of job requests.

We continue to make progress on the issue affecting GitHub Actions. We have deployed a fix that addresses runners being assigned jobs that are no longer valid, and are seeing improvement in job completion rates. For workflow runs that are starting, success rates have increased significantly and are now at 97%. Standard and larger runners are now draining queued work. A change is also in progress to mitigate issues with existing self-hosted runners that are not picking up jobs.

We are continuing to work on an issue affecting GitHub Actions. Webhook triggers remain throttled to aid recovery, so many push and pull request events are not triggering new workflow runs.
