Issue: Pull Request Stuck in "Checking for ability to merge automatically" Status Hello GitHub Community,

Body

I am experiencing an issue with my pull request. Despite having all changes approved and receiving 1 approving review (1 approval), the status remains yellow with the message:

"Checking for ability to merge automatically… Hang in there while we check the branch’s status."

This state does not change, and the pull request seems to be stuck. I've tried waiting for a significant amount of time, but the status remains the same.

Has anyone else faced this issue, and are there any solutions or workarounds to resolve this?

Additional Information:

The branch has no conflicts.
All checks have passed.

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

I've encountered this issue before and understand how frustrating it can be. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

• Ensure that all the required status checks are completed. Sometimes, additional checks (like CI/CD pipelines) might be running in the background. You can find this information in the "Checks" tab of your pull request.

• Sometimes, updating your branch with the latest changes from the base branch can help resolve the issue. You can do this via the command line or directly on GitHub by selecting "Update branch" if available.

For a more detailed discussion and additional troubleshooting steps, you might find this Stack Overflow post helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63315676/github-how-to-solve-hanging-pull-request.

If none of these steps work, consider reaching out to GitHub support for further assistance. They can provide more in-depth analysis and support for your specific situation.

I hope this helps!
