• Confirm your retries, queues and scheduled jobs caught up after the 9m it lasted.

   We saw elevated latency affecting REST API requests, including Checks, and some Actions, Issues, Pull Requests, and GraphQL functionality. Some requests may have been slow or timed out, and notifications were delayed from 17:59 UTC - 18:40 UTC. We mitigated the issue and all services have recovered.
