COVID related work from home adjustments is my guess.

  That is actually an extremely good guess, and I am ashamed I didn't think of it to begin with.

  That might be the trigger but it wouldn't be the root cause. For example web and backend servers for cloud services shouldn't be affected by whether people are sat in one location or another. However if those systems requires lots of maintenance to keep running and people are less available due to COVID then you'd see a rise in downtime. But that would mean it's not COVID that's the problem, it's the amount of maintenance required and COVID only surfaced that problem.

    Doesn't have to be on service side either. Could be that user patterns are changing too, testing scenarios that aren't well worn on GitHub.
