Lovable experienced a 19-hour outage on January 2-3, 2025, after GitHub disabled its app for violating terms of service due to rapid repository creation. The issue was resolved for new projects by migrating to AWS S3 for file storage, and for existing projects when GitHub reinstated the app. Lovable restored credits used during the outage and gave paying users unlimited access the following weekend.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://lovable.dev/blog/incident-github-outage:

> Lovable was partially or fully down for about 19 hours. The direct cause was Github disabling our Github app due to the rapid creation of new repositories.
