Enforcement Timeline Paused

GitHub Actions is pausing the previously announced enforcement of minimum self-hosted runner version v2.329.0. This enforcement was originally scheduled to take effect on March 16, 2026, but has now been temporarily postponed to allow users more time to transition.

What This Means

During this pause period:

• Self-hosted runners below v2.329.0 can continue to register and configure normally
• No immediate action is required, but upgrades remain strongly encouraged
• GitHub will publish an updated enforcement timeline and plan in the coming weeks

Long-term expectations:

• This is a temporary pause, not a cancellation—the requirement will eventually be enforced
• Users should treat this as additional time to upgrade, not a reprieve from the eventual requirement
• Older runner versions will eventually be blocked from registration and configuration

Recommended Actions

Users should continue upgrading their self-hosted runners to v2.329.0 or later at their earliest convenience. GitHub has provided detailed upgrade documentation to help with the transition process. For more information about self-hosted runner management, consult GitHub's official documentation.
