Is it just me, or has Github's quality of service been continually degrading over the past several months? What is going on internally? Is this because of the Microsoft acquisition? Increased usage? An internal transition to Azure?

...is it time to move away from Github?

If you view the historical uptime, it does seem like there have been more incidents in the past three months, but otherwise the waters look calm (as reported at least): https://www.githubstatus.com/uptime?page=1

I wonder if it has something to do with the past 3 months have been coronavirus related, higher internet usage?

Yes, and so this is actually a thing that bugs me, because I use Github every day. Over the past several months, there have been numerous days in which I've had problems (`You can not comment at this time`, 500s, etc.) and no corresponding status report.

It seems like the historical uptime page paints a far rosier picture than I am actually experiencing.

They've been pushing lots of features in the platform so not surprising that it's a bit unstable now.

It might also be covid related. People are working from home, people responsible for system upkeep might not be immediately responsive, more demand on the servers for whatever reason, etc.

Git pushes are going really slow for me, but they do work after a few tries. If you normally use a credential cache and it's asking you for your password again, hit control-C and retry the operation. That seems to have gotten my last few pushes to work.
