Final update
From Nov 17, 2025 00:00 UTC to Nov 17, 2025 15:00 UTC Dependabot was hitting a rate limit in GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) and was unable to complete about 57% of jobs. To mitigate the issue we lowered the rate at which Dependabot started jobs and increased the GHCR rate limit. We’re adding new monitors and alerts and looking into more ways to decrease load on GHCR to help prevent this in the future.
