Days After “Fixing” First One, Gmail Suffers Giant Outage

December 15, 2020

Gmail users have experienced a host of problems, as the mail service struggles to rebound from Monday’s global outages.

“We’re aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a significant subset of users,” Google wrote today at 2.30pm ET. “The affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages, high latency, and/or other unexpected behavior.”

A little over two hours later, the company announced it had resolved the issues. But admins have reported seeing random bounceback issues since. Users in the United States have experienced the vast majority of these problems. However, failures have also been registered in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

On Monday, the now-named ‘Google Cloud Infrastructure Components incident 20013′ blocked services requiring users to log in, causing a 50-minute outage for users of platforms including Google Console and Cloud Storage.

Google Workspace—formerly G Suite—has two billion users worldwide.
