GitHub Authentication Issues for Some Users
Resolved - This incident has been resolved.
Aug 26, 14:29 EDT
Monitoring - GitHub has deployed a mitigation that should improve the GitHub API token issues. We have also pushed an update to CS50 Codespace to accommodate these changes. Please update your Codespace immediately when prompted, or run update50 in your Codespace.

For Codespaces that boot into recovery mode (e.g., where none of the submit50 or check50 tools are available), please follow this documentation to fix the Codespace, then update it to the latest version: https://cs50.readthedocs.io/cs50.dev/#codespaces-run-into-recovery-mode
Aug 24, 12:07 EDT
Update - We've learned that this issue involves GitHub components that are beyond our control. In affected cases, the GitHub account would have encountered the rate limit regardless of how the Codespace was accessed.

As a workaround, you can configure GitHub SSH, which should allow tools such as submit50 and check50 to work:

https://cs50.readthedocs.io/github/#ssh

CS50 Duck inside Codespaces may also be affected by this issue. In the meantime, https://cs50.ai remains operational.
Aug 22, 08:23 EDT
Update - We have been working with GitHub to address the issue, but for the moment, if you are experiencing GitHub token issues (either an invalid token or your GitHub account being rate-limited), please do the following:

1. If your Codespace prompts you to update, please run update50 to update your Codespace immediately.
2. If you are unable to access your Codespace because your GitHub account is being rate-limited, please close all Codespace browser windows and tabs and stop interacting with github.com in any way. Wait one hour, then visit https://cs50.dev to access your Codespace.
3. If you are already running the latest version of CS50 Codespace but are still experiencing a GitHub token issue, please take a screenshot of the error message and email it to sysadmins@cs50.harvard.edu, along with your GitHub username and the content of https://cs50.dev/debug

If your Codespace is up to date and your GitHub account is not rate-limited, yet the token issue still persists, please do the following:

1. Visit https://github.com/settings/connections/applications/d1a90a524497a69391fa
2. Click "Revoke access" to revoke access for cs50.dev.
3. Then visit https://cs50.dev/restart. You should be prompted to authorize access; please authorize it again.
Aug 22, 07:42 EDT
Update - We are continuing to work on a fix.

1. If your Codespace prompts you to update, please do so immediately.
2. If you are unable to access your Codespace, please close all Codespace browser windows and tabs, wait one hour, then visit https://cs50.dev and update your Codespace.
3. If you are already running the latest version of CS50 Codespace but are still experiencing a GitHub token issue, please take a screenshot of the error message and email it to sysadmins@cs50.harvard.edu, along with your GitHub username.
Aug 21, 12:32 EDT
Identified - We have identified the issue and are currently working on a fix.

As a workaround, please do the following:

1. Visit https://github.com/settings/connections/applications/d1a90a524497a69391fa
2. Click “Revoke access” to revoke access for cs50.dev.
3. Then visit https://cs50.dev/restart again. You should be prompted to authorize access; please authorize it again.
4. Wait for your Codespace to restart and see if that resolves the problem.
