The recent AI Studio update is a total disaster. When will this platform be treated seriously?

Running for 27064s what happen with AI studio

Yeah, same here about ai studio. But also all images/videos generated in gemini (include chats) are gone. Nothing helps, They say in status page that all are fixed but nothing is fixed. Weird. Does anybody knows when they realy fix it? I cant understand simple thing, why they say its fixed when its not? NO SENSE

During the recent AI Studio Build outage, the cloud Vite environment permanently cached a broken process.env variable. Even after replacing the Gemini API key, utilizing import.meta.env.VITE_, and manually restarting the server via npm run dev in the terminal, the cloud container refused to read the updated .env file, resulting in a persistent 400 API_KEY_INVALID error. The internal AI Code Assistant also continuously crashed with “The task was canceled” when asked to update the variables. The key was verified as 100% active via a local cURL test. The AI Studio cloud container requires a hard-reset feature to clear ghost environment variables.

Google AI Studio & Gemini API — Current Stability Issues

Many developers are currently reporting serious problems with Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. From a technical perspective, this appears to be a combination of rollout instability, capacity constraints, and backend issues.

Commonly reported problems:

  • Requests stuck indefinitely in “Thinking”

  • Batch jobs remain in “Pending/Running” without completing

  • 503 Service Unavailable and 429 Rate Limit errors, even at low usage

  • Daily budgets consumed without meaningful output

  • Generic “Internal error” messages with no diagnostics

  • Performance varies significantly by time of day and region (EU users especially affected)

Particularly concerning is that official status pages often show “Operational” while users experience severe degradation. Third-party monitoring services and developer forums report multiple incidents and regional disruptions.

Technical context:
AI Studio is only the frontend. The service depends on a multi-layer infrastructure:

Frontend → Gemini Serving Layer → Vertex AI → Scheduler → TPU/GPU Compute Pools

Failures or bottlenecks at any layer can result in:

  • Endless jobs

  • Incorrect quota or rate-limit errors

  • High latency

  • Stalled or lost requests

  • Unexpected cost spikes

Many reports indicate these issues started after a major ground-up rewrite of the Build experience that is still being rolled out.

Bottom line:
This does not appear to to be an isolated case, but a broader stability problem during rollout.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Has performance improved for you, or is it still problematic?

all of us are suffering the same kind of issues, they don’t fix anything, they put the system on a worse state, it’s awful.

UAE here, building with Gemini 3.1 Pro model has gotten better but is taking longer than before the update.
Building with Gemini 3 Flash model is considerably more usable, still not on the same speed before rollout.
Edits to existing project still flaky. I recommend copying (remix) the project and continue there, becuase edits on existing older projects are not being saved.

Give up. It’s stuck. Copy (Remix) the project and continue there.

I would avoid doing this automatic fix at this time as this will mess up your files more.
Better to do a backup /download files or copy the content of code somewhere externally.

After the migration there is a lots of broken modules / paths where the files references itself …

I manage to fix them (in my case had to check if the path were ok - for example from some reason it started to pointing out to search for modules and files in some non existing folder so I corrected the path) still all is highlighted red (cannot find module or file) but its strangely working.

It is completely unusefull at the moment

This is a really bad joke, Google, working wherever you want, prove it to me

Google has become a joke; seriously, nothing is working, they haven’t fixed anything.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

This is bad, Google, seriously please don’t put the true status, absolutely nothing is working.

Seriously, this status panel has become a joke; you can’t trust it anymore at all.

If you haven’t written anything in the chat, don’t do it, otherwise your apps will stop working. Google has been having problems for a week and hasn’t fixed anything. Everything is broken.

Even importing isn’t working, downloading is broken, everything’s been damaged for almost a week now.

For those who were smart and didn’t accept the migration, the apps are still working; however, if you try to update the app, it will stop working.

Your platform can’t even create a simple chatgpt, so how is that working? Please answer me.

The status doesn’t match what’s happening; please provide the actual status.

I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.

Since the developer does not have access to their own code.

This is just ! Now free tier is not even working. I am back at a standstill. I’ve lost several clients and no end in sight! I was at least able to get my app somewhat running but so much is still broken!

Reset conversation removed is the worst update. Can’t even able to complete a a single request for several days now. They also reduce the free tokens. Even if you connect paid API, it worst than before. I hope they will solve this as soon as possible.

Everything is really working, and it’s a joke.

Google put the truth status :rofl:

Seriously, you can’t put any more credibility into this status panel.

The strangest thing is that the videos I searched for on YouTube don’t have anything about this problem :joy:

Agreed! It’s about time we start making noise. I really doubt that higher ups of Google are aware of the problem, or how their brilliant team is managing it. How they’re giving “everything is working“ statuses.

Higher-ups in Google should know.

When people start making videos on YouTube, will we see any solution? Because, as I said, I found it very strange that not a single video about this problem is being posted on YouTube.

things are going fine, you all are hallucinating

:rofl: After that, I don’t know what else to say, seriously Google has become a joke with this update.

They finally changed to their true status.

Seriously, he’s turning red again because nothing is working.
