After a brief outage, Google search, Gmail, YouTube, and other Google services have come back online. The outage was reported on the Google status page at 05:25 PM (IST) and the services came back online at 06:01 PM (IST).
The status page for Google services noted, “Google Drive (Or other services in question) service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users in the near future. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change.”
So if you are still experiencing an outage on YouTube, Google search, Gmail, or any other Google service, it is only a matter of time till things return to normal.
It looks like Google services went down for approximately an hour. However, that hour crossed into business operation times in multiple markets. TechCrunch reported that the outage led to a slight drop in pre-market trading for parent company Alphabet.
The outage appeared to be worldwide and was affecting both PC and Android users.
Google later issued a statement confirming that services have been restored and that the outage was caused due to 'an internal storage quota issue'.
"Today, at 3.47AM PT Google experienced an authentication system outage for approximately 45 minutes due to an internal storage quota issue. Services requiring users to log in experienced high error rates during this period. The authentication system issue was resolved at 4:32AM PT. All services are now restored. We apologise to everyone affected, and we will conduct a thorough follow up review to ensure this problem cannot recur in the future," it said.
