Hi everyone, I’m running Gemini 2.5 Flash in production (for multiple apps) and I keep hitting this error: 503 - The model is overloaded. Please try again later. This makes my apps unusable for end users, since requests randomly fail. From what I’ve seen, this issue is not just on my side, many o…

I am also getting this error frequently.

Hi We are facing issue google.genai.errors.ServerError: 503 UNAVAILABLE. {‘error’: {‘code’: 503, ‘message’: ‘The model is overloaded. Please try again later.’, ‘status’: ‘UNAVAILABLE’}}. Kindly advise on further steps

Hi Team, we are facing the issue again. kindly let us know what we need to do

We also have issue with the Gemini 2.5 Flash model, which has been returning frequent 503 Service Unavailable errors since October 10th
