Ah so that's why the GitHub Pull Requests extension is repeatedly harassing me about needing to log in again...

One thing I hate about GH's status page: sure "auth" gets to live under API, so API gets the downtime report today. But all of my remote git ops are failing, because i was dumb enough to use the `gh` cli to auth. Their status pages are not well defined, but they treat them as such, leading to inflated uptime numbers.

GitHub iOS logged me out. Tried logging in twice before realizing the problem is on their side...

Again? Last time an incident happened was 48 hours ago [0]. Now the API is having issues.
Something every week is falling apart at GitHub and it is slowly self-destructing.
Each time there is an incident at GitHub, it is another advertisement to self-host your own. Otherwise just expect GitHub to break next week or two.
Remember, there is no CEO of GitHub; only their AI agents running it into the ground.
