Common failure patterns and how to diagnose them

Provider details

Google's flagship AI assistant across Gemini web/mobile and Google's developer/enterprise AI stack. Available via gemini.google.com, AI Studio (free dev access), and Vertex AI (enterprise).

What we monitor
Gemini Web — Consumer web interface
Gemini Mobile Apps — Mobile backend
Gemini API — Developer API
Google AI Studio — Dev playground
Vertex AI — Gemini models — Enterprise infrastructure
Workspace integration — Google Workspace AI features
Status page segments
Vertex AIGoogle AI StudioGemini APIWorkspace
Model families
Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 FlashGemini 2.0 Flash / Flash-LiteGemini Nano (on-device)
Common limits & quotas
  • Free tier available via AI Studio with per-minute rate limits
  • Paid API access via AI Studio or Vertex AI with tier-based quotas
  • Vertex AI offers quota increases via GCP console
Ecosystem dependencies
Workspace AI features depend on Gemini backendAndroid integration (Gemini assistant) depends on cloud APIVertex AI and AI Studio are separate infrastructures; enterprise Vertex users often unaffected by gemini.google.com outages
Operator notes
  • Vertex AI and AI Studio route through different quota pools; verify which one your workload uses
  • Google's status page covers Vertex AI but not gemini.google.com directly — consumer UI outages may not be flagged
  • Workspace integration can degrade independently of core Gemini — check the right status dashboard
  • Gemini models have the longest context windows in the industry; tooling that assumes OpenAI-style token limits may underestimate capacity

How we monitor

downforai.com probes each AI service every 2–5 minutes from multiple independent locations. We measure HTTP response codes, latency (p50 & p95), and endpoint availability across the surfaces listed above. Status is classified as Operational, Degraded, or Outage based on a weighted combination of probe results. Uptime is calculated over 30-minute buckets and the last 24 hours. User reports are factored into our diagnosis as a secondary signal. We are independent of all providers listed and receive no compensation to report any particular status.
