Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my CircleCI builds stuck in queue?

Builds stuck in queue can indicate CircleCI capacity issues or outages. Check our status above and CircleCI's Build Processing component. If CircleCI is up, check if you've exceeded your resource class limits or if specific executors are affected.

Are CircleCI webhooks affected during outages?

Yes, webhooks to GitHub/Bitbucket may fail during outages, preventing builds from triggering. Status updates to your VCS may also be delayed. Once service resumes, you may need to manually re-trigger affected builds.

Why did my CircleCI workflow fail unexpectedly?

Unexpected failures during outages may show as infrastructure errors rather than test failures. Check the job output for CircleCI-specific error messages. Infrastructure failures typically don't consume build credits.

Does CircleCI downtime affect my self-hosted runners?

Self-hosted runners still require CircleCI's control plane to receive jobs. During outages, runners will be idle even if healthy. Jobs queue on CircleCI and dispatch once service resumes.
