Got up this morning and 9 out of 10 requests are failing with 503s. On the other hand, the API status page is all greens. Is there an official reporting channel?
The same here, since yesterday. Gemini 3 pro preview. Model flash still working
Same here I’ve been getting the same error for the past 7 hours
This is May 27th ,2026 and thought I would chime in as well since the last reply was 20d ago.
503 for the past 10 hours straight on the gemini-2.5-flash model. A bit over 210 requests made with several minutes in between short prompt calls, so not in the prompts or code as it has been working great for the past few weeks. Now getting - “This model is currently experiencing high demand. Spikes in demand are usually temporary. Please try again later.”
Would like any others to chime in as it feels more than a regional thing. Even VPN - getting same errors as well. Hard to imagine that I am the only person in the past 21 days with this issue.
Yup, completely unusable here too. At some point in the day, the 503 stops appearing as much, but the responses are slow. It usually becomes usable just for a few hours before it starts all over again. I notice it’s worst from Sunday until Thursday, and then Friday-Saturday, it’s fine and then by the time it’s nighttime, back to the constant 503.
Is anyone else also seeing 504 DEADLINE_EXCEEDED errors? We’re doing image gen with 3.1.
We’re failing 20-30% of the requests with 503/504
This is really breaking our business now and customers are churning.
Yet on the AI Studio status page everything looks green?
Same here I’ve been lucky to get a couple of hours out of it in the last couple of days, EU region
Gemini-3.5-flash is giving me a 503 error too, seriously?
{“code”:503,“message”:“This model is currently experiencing high demand. Spikes in demand are usually temporary. Please try again later.”,“status”:“UNAVAILABLE”}
Please refund if you cant resolve this. Never expected from google.
I’m face this issues every day
this is sooooo disappointing, I will probably switch to OpenAI or Anthropic apis
And now it’s overloaded on Saturday too. The tiers doesn’t even matter. I think it’s time for everyone to jump ships.
I’ve been experiencing the issue for the last 8+ hours. Is it me only or someone else can confirm?
Happens every single day, for me, and for all of us bro
503, we have tried everything.
The this is for some keys it works flawless during peak and off peak
And some keys it just dosnt work at all, can’t even generate a basic request
Antigravity no problem 3.5 Flash instant reply, Free Tier!!
OpenCode with AI Plus, no reply. Just don’t pay for it, then you’re fine. Btw. Github Copilot also loves your money, a little bit more than Google.
