About ticket priority

When you contact GitHub Enterprise Support, you can choose one of four priorities for the ticket: Urgent, High, Normal, or Low.

GitHub has the sole discretion to modify the priority of a ticket at any time, and may lower the priority of a ticket after determining and mitigating the primary cause of an issue.
