Many 503s from Gemeni-2.5 Flash and Pro

Hello! I’m trying out the Gemeni API for the first time.

I’m sending images, about 2-5MB and a little text, maybe 900 input tokens as logged by the metadata? I have a very fast connection.

I see many, many 503s in the Logs dashboard and my requests take between 20-120 seconds. Am I doing something wrong with my requests? The AI Status page says ‘All Systems Operational’

Same here Jason and i am not sending images, just trying to search google. It has started today… any tips ?

Hi @Jason_Freidman and @app2c_startup,
Welcome to the AI Forum!
Thanks for reporting this issue.
These seems to be a temporary issue. Could you please confirm if you are still facing this issue?

Hi Pooja,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I see this intermittently, for example right now. Often it manifests as just slow responses due to internal retries in the SDK, but when I check the dashboard, I see failures there. Currently it’s a 504 not a 503, same from queries issued via the AI Studio.

Perhaps the incidents are temporary, but they seem to occur repeatedly and without acknowledgement?

cheers,
