Operational performance of the CMS silicon strip detector during Run 3

The CMS silicon strip tracker, consisting of 15148 silicon modules with a 198 m$^2$ active area, has been successfully taking data in LHC Run 1 and Run 2. After the second long shut-down period from the end of 2018, the detector resumed operations in summer 2021 and will be operational till the end
of LHC Run 3, before the HL-LHC upgrade. The performance of the detector during Run 3 will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the (expected) changes in detector performance with increasing irradiation. The performance of the detector during the early 2023 collisions will also be presented.
