Status page is, as expected, all green, but anyone noticing anything unusual? Services on cloud run timing out for me.

    Systems down, heading to the pub.

    Our system in EU observed some slowness and a few 500 and 503 responses from `identitytoolkit.googleapis.com` over a period of about 10 minutes.

    Definitely been seeing a handful of 50x errors this morning. Fortunately seems like a partial outage but definitely annoying (and can sometimes indicate worse trouble coming)

    Firebase Firestore is either down or very high latency in us-east1

    Our VPN restarted about an hour ago and caused a bit of excitement, on the whole it's been a lot less _interesting_ than the last one thankfully.

    Multiple people within our company reporting issues. Mostly from US, us in the EU still seem fine as of right now.

    edit: Never mind, it's down for me now as well.

    We first noticed google login issues with our app, can't login with google anywhere now, Google Analytics is down as well.

    Can't login with google to langsmith at the moment and gcp login is loading either. Seems like there is something afoot.

    Yes. Many times. Kubernetes upgrade during maintenance schedule borks up entire cluster, yet everything is green on status page. Support case under enterprise support plan took almost 6 hours to get it resolved.

    Multiple people in Brazil reporting:

    - SSO issues;

    - Google workspace tools not loading;

    YouTube API partially down

    Some issues here in Brazil

    Reminder that multi cloud >>> multi region

    Anyone who says otherwise is selling availability theater

    Too many whole-cloud outages due to a bad config in the last 2 months (GCP x2, cloudflare x2)

    Maybe centralising all our IT infrastructure wasn't a good idea after all.
