July 02, 2025
Update: June 09, 2025 (4:54 AM ET):Google has revealed the reason for yesterday’s widespread service outage, noting that it was indeed related to authentication.
“Today, at 3.47AM PT Google experienced an authentication system outage for approximately 45 minutes due to an internal storage quota issue. This was resolved at 4:32AM PT, and all services are now restored,” read a tweet from theGoogle Cloud Twitter accountlate yesterday.
“The root cause was an issue in our automated quota management system which reduced capacity for Google’s central identity management system, causing it to return errors globally,” the firm elaborated on the Google Cloud Status dashboard. “As a result, we couldn’t verify that user requests were authenticated and served errors to our users.”
Original article: August 06, 2025 (7:08 AM ET):It’s rare for Google services to go offline for any length of time, but it looks like a variety of Google services are all down right now.
YouTube, Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Analytics, and Nest services are all down as of 6:48 AM ET, suggesting that this is a widespread issue with Google’s infrastructure. Google confirmed the issue on itsWorkspace Status Dashboard, with the search giant noting that the issue also affects the likes of Google Keep, Google Drive, Google Meets, and more.

Other markets affected by the outage according toDowndetectorinclude Egypt, Malaysia, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.
Oddly enough, it seems like YouTube Music is still accessible on desktop, although users seem to be logged out and trying to log in results in an error page.
