HTTP 500 Internal Server Error for a specific Google Workspace user

Description

I am encountering a persistent HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when sending prompts through Antigravity, but only with a specific Google Workspace account. Other accounts function normally under the same environment.

Account Comparison

  • User A (OK): Personal account (AI Plus)
  • User B (OK): Personal account (Free - newly created for testing)
  • User C (OK): Workspace account (Business Plus)
  • User D (NG): Workspace account (Business Standard) - This is where the error occurs.

Key Observation

User D (the failing account) had their primary email address (username) changed on March 2nd (about a week ago). Everything was working correctly before this change.

Test Conditions

  • Prompt: list files
  • Model: Gemini 3 Flash

Troubleshooting Performed

  • Authenticated using Chrome Guest Mode (to rule out cache/extensions).
  • Toggled the Gemini App service OFF and ON via the Google Workspace Admin Console.

Environment Details

  • Antigravity Version: 1.20.5
  • VSCode OSS Version: 1.107.0

Hi @sft
Welcome to the Google AI Forum!!!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have escalated the issue to our internal teams for a thorough investigation.

To ensure our engineering team can investigate and resolve these issues effectively, we highly recommend filing bug reports directly through the Antigravity in-app feedback tool. You can do this by navigating to the top-right corner of the interface, clicking the Feedback icon, and selecting Report Issue.

Welcome to the club! I’m on Day 21 of this nightmare. Even with an ‘Escalation Manager’ involved, all I get are scripted replies while my paid AI Ultra subscription remains a brick. It seems like ‘investigating’ is just Google-speak for ‘we have no clue’. Don’t hold your breath for a fix anytime soon. (Case #68083634)

@Shivam_Singh2 — Adding my case here as it is the exact same issue: account-specific HTTP 500 on a Google Workspace account with an active AI Ultra subscription.

juergen_Meyer — I feel your pain. I’m on Day 36 now. Same scripted replies, same runaround.


My Case Details

  • Support Case: #67960581
  • Account: Google Workspace (AI Ultra subscriber)
  • Issue Start Date: ~February 14, 2026
  • Duration: Over 5 weeks and counting — second full month of paying for a completely unusable service
  • Subscription Tier: AI Ultra (subscribed specifically for Antigravity agent access)

The Problem

Every prompt — including a simple “Hello” in a brand-new empty workspace — instantly fails with:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 500,
    "message": "Internal error encountered.",
    "status": "INTERNAL"
  }
}

This happens on every model (Gemini 3.1, Gemini 3.0, Claude, GPT-OSS). The error occurs at the entitlement/authentication verification layer before any model is even loaded. This is NOT a capacity issue — it is a backend failure to validate my AI Ultra subscription state.


Trace IDs (for Engineering)

Latest reproduction (March 22, 2026 — today, fresh reinstall):

  • X-Cloudaicompanion-Trace-Id: 3c69b8055dc7090e

  • Sherlog TraceID: 0xffd9b06471ea425e

Original traces (February 14, 2026):

  • 0xd6e5ae26b4d2784a

What I’ve Already Done (Exhaustive Local Troubleshooting)

  • Full uninstall and reinstall of Antigravity (done again today, March 22 — same error)
  • Wiped all AppData/cache
  • Tested on multiple networks
  • Disabled all extensions and MCP servers
  • Used “Reset onboarding” command
  • Reset the license/entitlement from settings — did NOT fix the issue
  • Tried all available models (Gemini 3.1 Pro High, Gemini 3.1 Pro Low, Gemini 3 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-OSS 120B)
  • None of these had any effect — consistent with a server-side root cause

The Support Experience (5+ Weeks of Canned Responses)

Here is the timeline of my interactions with Google Workspace Support — this is what “support” looks like for a paying Ultra customer:

  1. Feb 15 — Opened case via live chat. Agent Munjeti acknowledged the issue, confirmed it was affecting users globally, and promised to monitor personally.
  2. Feb 21 — Munjeti sends a template response about “capacity constraints” and suggests switching to Gemini 3.0. (Doesn’t work — the error is pre-model.)
  3. Feb 25, 27 — Automated “we haven’t heard from you” closure warnings.
  4. Feb 28 — Same template as Feb 21, word for word.
  5. Mar 4 — Another automated closure warning.
  6. Mar 5 — New agent (Malyala) sends the same “switch to Gemini 3.0” template.
  7. Mar 12 — Munjeti says “the issue has been resolved” by Product Engineering (capacity fix). It was NOT resolved for my account. I replied immediately with fresh trace IDs proving the error persists.
  8. Mar 13 — Munjeti acknowledges my reply, says the case is a “high-priority blocker,” Tier 3 and Engineering are engaged, and logs my billing credit request.
  9. Mar 185 days later, the same Munjeti sends a completely contradictory response telling me to “purchase the AI Ultra Access add-on.” I already have AI Ultra. This is the most telling evidence that no one is actually reading the case. It’s pure copy-paste.
  10. Mar 20 — Another automated closure warning.

About Claude and Model Usage

I want to clarify something important: Claude was available as a model inside Antigravity from the moment I installed it — it was included in my Ultra subscription from day one. I did not add it manually or do anything unusual. The models available in my Antigravity installation include: Gemini 3.1 Pro (High), Gemini 3.1 Pro (Low), Gemini 3 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Thinking), Claude Opus 4.6 (Thinking), and GPT-OSS 120B (Medium).

I used Claude for code generation and Gemini for brainstorming/analysis as part of normal usage. I never exceeded any daily quota — in fact, my usage logs should show minimal activity because the agent crashes on the very first prompt every time. If my account was flagged or blocked because of using Claude, that is Google’s problem for making it available and then penalizing users who chose it. I did not misuse anything.


Key Points for Shivam_Singh2 and the Google AI Team

  1. This is account-specific, not general capacity. My Workspace account throws HTTP 500 while the service works for others. This matches sft’s exact observation.
  2. Claude was available from installation and I used it normally. I did not add or misuse any model. It was part of the Ultra subscription offering. If users are being blocked for using an officially available model, this needs to be acknowledged and fixed.
  3. Please check my actual usage logs. They will show minimal usage — nowhere near any quota limit — because the agent crashes on the very first prompt every time.
  4. I have been paying for AI Ultra for two months solely for Antigravity access. Zero value received. I am requesting a full billing credit or refund for February and March 2026.
  5. Support is actively counterproductive. Telling an Ultra subscriber to “purchase AI Ultra” is not just unhelpful — it’s insulting and proves the responses are automated templates with no case-level review.
  6. I reset the license/entitlement from Antigravity settings today — it did NOT fix it. This further confirms the corruption is server-side, not local.

Request to Google Engineering

Please investigate the entitlement state for my specific account. Based on the error pattern, the backend entitlement database appears to have a corrupted or stale record for my Google Workspace account. A forced resync/reset/reprovision of my AI Ultra entitlement tokens should resolve this.

If this thread gets attention from the engineering team, my Workspace Support case number is #67960581 — please cross-reference internally.

Thank you @sft for filing this thread with such clear technical detail. It perfectly describes what many of us are experiencing.


Visual Evidence (Screenshots from today, March 22, 2026)

Screenshot 2: Typing “Hello” results in immediate “Agent terminated due to error” — HTTP 500 on fresh install:

Hi,

I am reading your post and it’s like looking into a mirror. My experience over the last 29 days has been 100% identical to yours.

The pattern is staggering:

  • The same initial “investigations” that led absolutely nowhere.

  • The same automated placeholder emails asking for “patience and understanding.”

  • The same technical diagnosis: a “User ID synchronization” failure between Workspace and the Gemini backend.

  • And ultimately, the same wall of silence from the Engineering team while being locked out with an HTTP 500 error.

It is clearly a systemic architectural flaw, not an isolated glitch.

My Current Status: After weeks of this “scripted” runaround, I finally set an ultimatum for this evening (Monday, March 23rd). This triggered an intervention by an Escalation Manager who flagged my case as “Critical Priority” and initiated a full refund for the month of non-performance.

However, words no longer hold any value. If my environment is not functional by tonight, I am pulling the plug. I will cancel my Google Workspace and Gemini Ultra subscriptions immediately and migrate my entire development workflow to Claude Pro.

Paying €250/month for a service that requires a month-long investigation to fix a single account is no longer a viable business decision.

The clock is ticking for Google. Tonight is the final check. Either it works, or I’m gone.

Update: Successful Workaround

I have found a temporary workaround for the HTTP 500 error occurring with User D.

Workaround: I reverted User D’s primary email address (username) back to its original value (the one used before the March 2nd change). After doing this, the authentication errors disappeared immediately, and the account is now functioning normally.

Additional Context regarding Google Support: Prior to my initial post, I contacted Google Support in Japan via the Google Workspace Admin Console. I was informed that technical troubleshooting for this specific type of issue is not supported unless the account has an AI Expanded Access subscription. I hope this workaround is eventually shared or recognized internally by Google, as standard support channels were unable to assist.

Conclusion: The issue is directly triggered by the primary email address change. It appears Antigravity (or the underlying authentication layer) fails to resolve the new identity. If you have recently renamed a Workspace user and are seeing 500 errors, reverting the name change should restore service.

A Note of Caution: Changing a primary email address in Google Workspace can have widespread side effects on other integrated services. I do not generally recommend this as a long-term solution. However, if your account environment allows for a temporary change without major disruption, you might consider trying this to restore Antigravity functionality.

Blog Update (Day 29) – The Final Act: Goodbye Gemini, Hello Claude.

“The ‘Antigravity’ API never took off.”

It’s official. After 29 days of total service blackout, I have officially pulled the plug and cancelled my Google AI Ultra subscription. Despite a last-minute “Critical Priority” escalation by a manager and the sudden appearance of the “Billing Support Team,” the technical reality remained unchanged: An HTTP 500 error that Google’s engineering team couldn’t fix in a month.

The Breaking Point: The final internal explanation from Google was that the “Antigravity API” (their internal link between Workspace and Gemini) was failing. But here’s the kicker: The billing team wanted to wait for a “technical fix” before processing my refund.

I decided not to wait for a miracle. Since the core functionality I paid for was not available for a single minute during the entire billing period, I have demanded a full refund for non-performance and closed the chapter.

My Takeaways from this Odyssey:

  1. Support-Loops are real: Even with a €250/month Enterprise plan, you can get caught in a scripted loop of “patience and understanding” that leads nowhere.

  2. Architectural Flaws: Seeing identical cases in the developer forums confirms this is a systemic issue with Google Workspace identities that isn’t easily patched.

  3. The Competitor is 5 minutes away: I migrated my entire development workflow to Claude Pro this afternoon. Setup took 5 minutes. No HTTP 500. No “Antigravity” failures. Just pure, high-level coding logic.

Final Verdict: Google Gemini Ultra might have potential, but as a business-critical tool for developers, it failed the reliability test. I’m moving to a platform that prioritizes functionality over bureaucracy.

Goodbye, Gemini. It wasn’t me, it was you.

Hi @Shivam_Singh2 — I just came across this same issue / error message. It’s because I updated my email address.

Is there a timeline on when this will be resolved? I have AI Ultra and can’t use it…

Hello. This exact same issue happened to me (HTTP 500) after changing the primary email address of my Google account.

I could workaround temporarily via changing the email address back to it’s previous state. Additionally, I tried deleting the ‘Antigravity’ App from connections in https://myaccount.google.com/u/5/connections. But it didn’t have any effects.

When will this be resolved?
