Overview
- The disruption began Wednesday morning and quickly produced a large spike in user reports on outage trackers and social media.
- Many users saw specific error codes, most commonly 1076 and 1099, when trying to start chats or load responses on both web and mobile clients, including Workspace accounts.
- Downdetector logged hundreds to thousands of reports from multiple countries, with notable volumes from the United States and United Kingdom and additional reports from Canada, India and Australia.
- Google recorded an incident for Gemini on its Workspace status page (logged at 10:26 UTC) but has not published a root-cause explanation or an estimated time to full restoration.
- Because Gemini is integrated into Search, Workspace, Google One and Cloud and is rolling out new features such as Gemini Omni, the outage has immediate productivity impacts and could affect apps and workflows that rely on Gemini until engineering teams restore service.
