About Gemini outages
Written by the HostTracker monitoring team · updated from live probe data.
Gemini is Google's AI assistant, available both as a standalone chat product and embedded across Google's other surfaces, and it inherits the Google account layer that Gmail and Workspace also depend on - so a sign-in incident can take Gemini down alongside apparently unrelated products. Its own characteristic failures are the ones common to large model-serving systems: capacity pressure after a model launch or a viral feature, responses that stall part-way through generation, and rate limiting that presents as an error rather than a clear message about limits. There is also a meaningful gap between the consumer chat interface and the developer API, which run on different paths and frequently fail independently of one another.
Common causes of Gemini downtime
Model-serving capacity limits after a launch or a demand spike, producing errors or truncated responses rather than a clean outage
Google account and authentication failures, which affect Gemini together with other Google products
Rate limiting and quota enforcement that blocks further requests within a session while the service itself is healthy
Divergence between the consumer app and the developer API, where one is degraded and the other works normally

Questions people ask during an outage
The live probe run on this page tests gemini.google.com from a broad sample of HostTracker's 300+-location monitoring network - many independent networks at the same moment, rather than just your own connection. If every location fails to reach it, the outage is real and affects everyone; if only a few locations fail while most load normally, the problem is local to those regions or networks rather than Gemini being fully down. A single refresh from your own browser can never make that distinction, because it only ever tests from one vantage point on one network.
Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.
A response that begins and then stops usually indicates pressure in the model-serving layer rather than an unreachable service: the request was accepted and generation started, then failed or was cut short. That is a real fault, but a narrow one, and retrying after a short pause frequently succeeds because it lands on different capacity. Repeated truncation across many attempts suggests a wider incident. The reachability check on this page answers the separate question of whether gemini.google.com is responding at all, which distinguishes a degraded model backend from a connection or DNS problem on your side.
Feature availability differs by account far more than for most services. Gemini's capabilities vary by region, by account type - personal versus Workspace - and by whether an organisation's administrator has enabled it, and some features roll out gradually rather than to everyone at once. So two people on the same network can legitimately see different behaviour with nothing broken at all. A genuine outage does not discriminate this way: it fails for everyone regardless of account, which is what makes the account-by-account pattern a strong signal that you are looking at availability rules rather than an incident.
