Hello Google Gemini Team,

I have been continuously receiving the following error while using your API model since yesterday:

“503 UNAVAILABLE: This model is currently experiencing high demand. Spikes in demand are usually temporary. Please try again later.”

It has been more than 24 hours, but the issue is still occurring consistently. I understand that temporary traffic spikes can happen, but since the problem has persisted for such a long time, I would appreciate it if you could help me understand the actual cause of this issue. Could you please let me know whether this is related to my account, API configuration, regional availability, or a service side problem, and if possible provide an estimated timeline for when it is expected to be resolved?

Thank you for your support. I look forward to your response.

Hello @Shah_Ram ,

503 errors are due to our services being temporarily overloaded. Please see this pinned post for suggestions on how to handle this.
