503 UNAVAILABLE Gemini 2.0 Flash API

For the past 3 hours, I have been trying to run my code, and I am always getting this error:
ServerError: 503 UNAVAILABLE. {‘error’: {‘code’: 503, ‘message’: ‘The model is overloaded. Please try again later.’, ‘status’: ‘UNAVAILABLE’}}

I am using gemini-2.0-flash. Anyone else having similar problems?

EDIT: It is working now after 16 hours. Google, please scale your models according to your consumer base.

Hey folks, this issue should be resolved now. Please let me know if you’re still experiencing any issues!

For the last two days, we have been getting “HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable”. Can you provide a solution, please?
