By The Downtime · Jul 19, 2026 · 4:00 AM ·Updated 1 month ago

Render is investigating a critical issue causing elevated git clone failures with 403 errors during deployments. The company confirmed the problem is isolated to services deployed in the Frankfurt region; running services are not affected. Only the deployment process is failing at this time.

Render provides a cloud platform for building and deploying web applications and backends used by developers and organizations globally.

Render first received elevated reports of git clone failures resulting in 403 errors that abort deployments and began investigating. The company subsequently identified that only services in the Frankfurt region are experiencing deployment failures while attempting to determine the underlying cause.

This is a developing story. The Downtime will provide updates as more information becomes available.
