RESOLVED: Multiple GCP products are experiencing Service issues

A Google Cloud and Workspace incident occurred on June 12, 2025, from 10:49 to 13:49 US/Pacific, lasting 3 hours. The incident resulted in increased 503 errors for external API requests, globally impacting customer access. An invalid automated quota update to the API management system caused the rejections. Recovery involved bypassing the problematic quota check, restoring most regions within two hours. The us-central1 region experienced a longer recovery due to database overload. Some products had residual impact for up to an hour, while a few others recovered later. Google is preparing a detailed incident report outlining the root cause and remediation steps. Measures will be implemented to prevent API management failures, improve metadata propagation, and enhance error handling. The incident affected numerous Google Cloud and Workspace products, including Compute Engine, BigQuery, Gmail, and Google Calendar. The impact spanned across various global locations.
