Git index slow to update

What to do

• Check whether you use crates.io crates.io. Check your stack

  Paste a package.json, lockfile, Terraform or a list of domains at down.guide/stack to see every provider you depend on.

• Confirm your retries, queues and scheduled jobs caught up after the 2h 56m it lasted.

  Anything that failed between 2026-04-14 20:48 UTC and 2026-04-14 23:44 UTC may need a replay.

• Subscribe to crates.io's feed to hear about the next one first. RSS feed

Updates from crates.io 3

1. investigatingApr 14, 2026, 8:48 PM UTC

   The crates.io background worker is having a bad morning, and a backlog of Git index updates has accumulated. We have given the worker some coffee and it's catching up, but index updates for newly-published crates are running about an hour behind right now. The sparse index (used by default by all modern Rust versions) is unaffected.

2. monitoringApr 14, 2026, 9:08 PM UTC

   The background worker has been told to get itself together. The queue is now trending downwards, but git index updates are still running an hour behind. We are continuing to monitor, but we expect this to resolve over the next few hours.
