I noticed earlier this week that my URL bar now pre-fills githubstatus.com instead of github.com when I type "gith"
I can tell it’s getting bad because I went to close some Safari tabs and got confused because the tab next to this was [a dupe of] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49330597 .
So what’s stopping you (or your org) from leaving GitHub?

This is unacceptable for paying customers. Either 1) infrastructure for paying and non paying customers must be separated, 2) excessive load must be ended by not offering the free tier anymore or 3) they must fix their broken monolith but they are seemingly incapable of doing so.
I should make a business selling git hosting. Apparently it's really easy because it doesn't have to actually work.
Honestly? If the problem is scalability, just rate limit git commands on free accounts already. Nobody realistically need to push multiple times per minute, and that alone is bound to trickle down to anything that triggers on commits and pushes.

You've a tab from 9 days ago open? Maybe you should be closing your tabs more often :p

Sure. The problem is just an easy fix that nobody there thought about yet.
My point is: they blame it on scale. If that's the story they want us to believe, then they have to explain WHY such a simple fix isn't possible. There may be non technical reasons for it, even: legal, or PR, but if they want me to believe the "scalability excuse" they need to convince me they're trying.
I suspect that rate-limits would fly in the face of a lot of narratives like “Azure is ready for hyperscale”. And getting eyes on Github is probably a part of their Copilot product strategy.
