No wonder they don't publish an availability percentage. If I was a business customer paying for GitHub I would be very upset with the availability lately.

Someone built an archive of Github statuses to show aggregate uptime, last month and this month Github's uptime is below 90%, not even one "nine" of availability: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/
87% uptime for Github in February 2026. They've got to get it together.
