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 10m it lasted.

  Anything that failed between 2026-02-12 19:36 UTC and 2026-02-12 19:46 UTC may need a replay.

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

  https://down.guide/feed?provider=crates-io works in Slack (/feed subscribe), Discord feed bots and any RSS reader.

Updates from crates.io 2

1. identifiedFeb 12, 2026, 7:36 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. resolvedFeb 12, 2026, 7:46 PM UTC

   The background worker has caught up, and crate publishes are now updating normally in both indexes.
