hi , I’ve been stuck for the past hour trying to run my code with gemini-2.0-flash , but I keep hitting this error:
[{
“error”: {
“code”: 503,
“message”: “The model is overloaded. Please try again later.”,
“status”: “UNAVAILABLE”
}
}
]
I tried using Gemini 1.5 Flash instead, and it works perfectly.
Hi @Yee_Li Welcome to the community
The 503 issues are typically intermittent and often resolve themselves. You did the right job by switching models . As an alternative, you can also try Gemini 2.5 Flash. Please let us know us if this problem still persists.
Thank you
Hi, jut wanted to let you know that today’s test still isn’t working, so I’m using other models for now.
I really hope Gemini 2.0 Flash can be fixed soon
plz keep me posted once it’s back up.
tks!!! 
What are you using it for? Also have you considered using 2.5 flash?
We’ve been also seeing several 503s this week for Gemini 2.5 Pro API (Tier 3). They are intermittent, so we just reschedule jobs and hope to be lucky on the next round.
