We just started getting 403 errors in pipeline pipe: ERROR Failed to query JRE metadata: GET https://api.sonarcloud.io/analysis/jres?os=linux&arch=x86_64 failed with HTTP 403.

+1, experiencing the same issue since about 16:30 BST. Using the SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@v6 GitHub Action.

Likewise, we’re seeing the same from GitHub Actions. Other interactions with the Sonarcloud API are also returning 403 errors.

We’re seeing similar issues in Azure Devops using SonarCloudAnalyze@3 & SonarCloudAnalyze@4.

Weirdly, when I reran the whole pipeline instead of just the failed step after a few minutes it started working again. Not sure if it made a difference, or the token takes a while to update, or they resolved the issue on their end and our new token has nothing to do with it…

The failures seem to have stopped in Azure Devops as well.

Hi all! Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I can confirm that this was indeed an issue on SonarQube Cloud side. Our engineering team reacted quickly and rolled back the affected component, which is why you saw the API calls working again.

Hi @andres , thank you for confirming. Do you have any timestamps for impact start/resolved that you could share, so we can verify that the failures we saw yesterday were caused by this and not other internal issues? Thank you!

Hi @michael.tweed , the faulty behavior started at 27-May-2026 17:27 CEST and was resolved at 27-May-2026 18:14 CEST.
