Is that not still down though because it still relies on GH actions to orchestrate?

Also use Blacksmith for arm64 runners but this outage apparently affected webhooks so their runners are not picking up jobs either.
We use other runners (Blacksmith), and it hasn't helped, still hard down all day long. Brutal outage.
As a side note, I started getting these symptoms (actions staying queued forever or not running at all) at 5pm PDT yesterday, intermittently. And definitely full outage by 8:30pm PDT. So for sure full outage for 7 hours and counting, even if you use other runners, and I strongly believe partial outage for ~15.5+ hrs before that, even if it hasn't been acknowledged by GitHub yet.
