Google’s status page
Google's status page reports no problems. Google publishes no status feed for the Gemini app itself. This page reflects Google Cloud incidents affecting Gemini and Vertex AI, plus our own checks.
Our own check
Our checks can reach gemini.google.com (488 ms). For reference, generativelanguage.googleapis.com answers.
We send an unauthenticated request to the service every five minutes. A sign-in or bot-protection reply still proves it is answering.

How Gemini can fail
Google does not publish a status feed for the Gemini app itself. What it does publish is the Google Cloud incident list, which covers Gemini and Vertex AI among many other products. We read that list and keep only open incidents that mention Gemini or Vertex AI, then combine them with our own check of gemini.google.com.
That means a quiet Google Cloud list does not prove the Gemini app is working, and an open Google Cloud incident may affect developers more than app users. A Google Cloud incident can be limited to certain regions, so we report one as "having issues" and never as "down".
- Google Cloud incidents: Open incidents that mention Gemini or Vertex AI. These count towards the verdict.
- gemini.google.com: Our own check of the Gemini website. This can change the verdict.
- Gemini API: We also test generativelanguage.googleapis.com for information. It is shown but does not change the verdict.
API errors and what they mean
If you use the Gemini API, Google's troubleshooting guide separates errors worth retrying from errors that are about your request.
- 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: You have exceeded a rate limit or quota. Google calls it transient and suggests retrying with exponential backoff.
- 503 UNAVAILABLE: The service is temporarily unreachable or overloaded. Retry with backoff.
- 408: The request took too long. Retry.
- Other 5xx: Backend problems on Google's side, treated as worth retrying.
- 400, 402, 403: Problems with the request itself, such as an invalid key, no credit or a malformed request. Retrying will not fix them.

If Gemini is not working for you
Check the two signals above first. When both look healthy, try a different device or network, sign out and back in, and switch off any VPN or browser extensions. Hitting a usage limit can look like an outage, so check for a message about limits. Our guide has the full checklist, and another explains why a service can be up but broken for you.
Questions about Gemini status
Is Gemini down right now?
Gemini looks up. We are not seeing any problems right now.
How can I tell if Gemini is down for everyone or only for me?
Compare what you see with the two signals above. If Google's status page and our checks both look healthy, the problem is likely your account, network, browser or a usage limit. Try another device or connection, sign out and back in, and turn off any VPN or browser extensions.
Where is the official Gemini status page?
Google publishes status information at https://status.cloud.google.com.
How often is this page updated?
Our checks run every five minutes, so this page can lag a sudden outage by up to five minutes.
Does Google have a status page for the Gemini app?
Not one that we can read. Google publishes Google Cloud incidents that mention Gemini and Vertex AI, and we combine those with our own check of the Gemini website.
Why does Gemini never show as down for a Google Cloud incident?
Google Cloud incidents can affect only some regions or customers, so we always report one as "having issues" and never as "down".
