I've just tried to setup a new Railway app from a GitHub repo, but for some reason the repo was not listed.
I decided to take a look at my GitHub integration via the "Configure GitHub App" link, but after ensuring Railway had access to all repos I get taken to a screen with "Problem completing OAuth login".
I figured this might be due to one of my browser extensions so I tried to do this in an Incognito window, but I cannot login and am instead presented with the same "Problem completing OAuth login" page.

is the email address of your Railway account the same as your GitHub primary?
Update: it's been about 20 minutes and the repo has now appeared, and I can configure GitHub without the OAuth error.
I guess this was a temporary outage in one side or the other. 🤷

Hey, just a heads up that the team is aware of the issues related to GitHub OAuth and they're working on a solution. Basically, Railway is being rate limited by GitHub itself.

Same issue here.
I'm unable to log into my Railway account due to a GitHub OAuth error. When I attempt to login, I receive:
"Error authenticating with GitHub - Problem completing OAuth login"
What happened:
- I was trying to fix a GitHub integration issue with my services (repos showing "GitHub Repo not found")
- I logged out of Railway to re-authorize
- Now I cannot log back in at all
What I've tried:
- Revoking Railway from GitHub (Settings → Applications → Authorized OAuth Apps)
- Clearing browser cookies
- Using incognito/private browsing
- Different browsers
This is blocking all deployments to our staging and production environments. Our services are showing "Needs approval" for commits and I cannot approve them without account access.

Same here, I logged out of github cause railway displayed a OAuth problem, and relogged in, seems like Railway now detects the repo but in the deployment of Railway, fails to fetch, so here we are, stuck ;(

Also experiencing these issues - is there a link to track progress on this outage? I can't access my Railway without this.

Hello!
For some context we had an issue where GitHub was rate limiting our actions. We published a full post mortem which you can read up on here.
