Look through the history. In 2024 and before that they consistently had 97+%, only rarely dipping down to 95 and once 92%.
Since February 2026 they have been constantly in the 80s.
Ok…? That doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft was enshitifying the software they bought before “AI” was a thing. They didn’t suddenly start doing it when LLMs happened.
They enshittified, yes, but uptime isn't a topic of enshittification. You don't make more money by reducing uptime.
Uptime, especially for a critical service like Github, that tons of businesses actually depend on, is a sign of not being able to keep your infrastructure and development under control. And getting below 90% is really, really shameful.
