Wouldn't incident increase in forward movement of time where there would be a user increase as well?

> 41% increase in status page incidents

Maybe they got funding for a proper incident team? Or changed the metrics of a incdient is, maybe the SLAs changed to mirror MS SLAs?

Also Betteridge's law.

Speaking as someone who uses github multiple times a day, I think I've only actually noticed 1-2 downtimes in the past year. On the other hand, I've used several of the beta features that have come out, including copilot and the evolving github actions.

GitHub is stronger now then it ever has been.

Shipping code causes incidents. Microsoft has shipped more features on github in the year they acquired it than github did 5 years before that.
