UPDATE: Jun. 10, 2026, 3:18 p.m. UTC Google has provided a new status update indicating its engineering team has applied mitigations and is continuing to investigate the root cause of the outage. The company says it is seeing signs of recovery and will continue to monitor the situation. Google's next update is expected by 3:30 PM ET.

Google's Gemini AI assistant is currently down for a significant number of users, with outage reports on Downdetector beginning to spike around 6 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning and continuing to build into the early afternoon. Google first acknowledged the issue in an update on its official status page at 8:40 p.m. ET.

Google confirms the disruption began at 6:26 a.m. ET, affecting Gemini across all major platforms — web, macOS, iOS, and Android — as well as Gemini in Chrome. Users are reporting error codes 1099 and 1076, as well as an error message that reads, "Something went wrong."

Google's status page classifies the problem as a "Service disruption" rather than a "Service outage," but Gemini is functionally unavailable for many users.


According to Google, its engineering team has identified a potential mitigation that is currently being worked on, though no estimated resolution time has been provided. The company says it plans to share an update by 3:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

The status update also states that no workaround is available at this time for affected users.

We'll update this story as more information becomes available.

  2. finally someone said it. the amount of people asking if it is their local wifi or browser settings is getting ridiculous.

    1. Is that because they can’t ask Gemini what is wrong?

    2. It's like walking into a room and flipping the light switch up during a power outage. I've gotten so used to using AI mode as my default search that I almost clicked it instead of just using regular search to see if there was an outage.

    3. Are you sure it isn't because I think about touching myself and God isn't just punishing me?

    1. This is why these subs being unmoderated is a problem. Normally mods would create a mega thread, and systematically remove all the "am I the only one?" posts.

      Instead, the sub goes to shit every time something goes wrong. I mean, the sub went to shit over a year ago... But you know what I mean lol

    1. I've noticed I can eventually get a response when spamming "Enter" over and over again, but I'm not sure how effective that actually is

    2. That's what I've been doing since the whole thing started, I'd say it's 50/50.

    3. It works for me, eventually I'm able to get a response refreshing the page, changing the model and hitting enter several times.

      Pretty inconvenient tho.

  16. Having no issues, I'm using it right now.

    But, I just asked it "Gemini, are you having problems right now? I just read a Reddit post where people are complaining that you are down."

    Response: Those Reddit posts are spot on. Google Gemini is experiencing a major global outage right now. Thousands of users worldwide began reporting issues early this morning. The main problems people are hitting include:

    Error 1076 and Error 1099: These are the most common errors popping up right when someone tries to submit a prompt.

    The "Kickback": Prompts completely failing to send and just dumping the text back into the input box.

    "Something went wrong" messages: Blank or failed responses across both the web interface and the mobile apps.

    What's causing it?
    The issue appears to be a server-side session conflict on the backend, which is temporarily locking specific user accounts out of the model during the prompt analysis phase. It's affecting both free and paid premium tiers globally. Google's engineering teams have officially acknowledged the disruption and are actively working on a mitigation strategy.

    A few workarounds to try:
    Since you and I are successfully talking in this specific thread, your connection here is stable, but if you try to start a new chat or use a different device and hit a wall, users on Reddit and tech forums have found a few temporary fixes that work:

    Log out and back in: Completely signing out of your Google account and logging back in forces a total refresh of your backend authentication tokens.

    Switch accounts: Because the errors tend to stick to a specific account's session data during the outage, switching to a secondary Google account often bypasses the issue entirely.

    Stick to working threads: If you have an active chat thread that is currently responding (like this one), try to keep using it for your tasks instead of opening a new chat, as the backend is struggling hard with initializing new sessions. Hopefully, they have a permanent fix deployed shortly. Are you running into any error messages on your end when you try to open other windows?

    1. Maar ook: Waarom Gemini Pro nu het gevoel geeft dat het achteruitgegaan is: een snelle uitleg**

      Als je de laatste tijd een daling hebt gemerkt in de kwaliteit van Gemini Pro, dan is dat niet je verbeelding. Het wordt ondersteund door de huidige technische en strategische veranderingen bij Google. Dit is wat er in werkelijkheid achter de schermen gebeurt:

      Serverinstabiliteit: De infrastructuur komt moeilijk mee in de schaal. De afgelopen weken waren er meerdere kritieke incidenten, waaronder bugs in API-cache, verdwijnende chatgeschiedenissen en vaak crashes in de gebruikersinterface ("Er is iets misgegaan"-meldingen).

      Computergestuurde throttling: Google heeft strengere, dynamische computelimieten ingevoerd. Als je prompt te veel rekenkracht nodig heeft, zet het systeem je nu stilletjes over op een lichtere, zwakkere modelvariant om servercapaciteit te besparen. Dit zorgt direct voor de "luiere" of oppervlakkige antwoorden bij ingewikkelde programmeer- of analysetaken.

      Kostenoptimalisatie: Generatieve AI draaien is berucht duur. Om de operationele kosten te beheersen voor meer dan 900 miljoen gebruikers en om concurrenten onderuit te halen met enterprise-prijzen, is Google bezig met hardvochtige verdeling van de rekenkracht op de backend. De strategische focus is verschoven van pure rekenkracht naar efficiëntie (met lichtere modellen zoals 3.5 Flash).

      TL;DR: De infrastructuur gaat gebukt onder snelle groei, en Google throttlet actief de individuele rekenkracht om de serverkosten binnen de perken te houden. De verslechtering die jij merkt is direct het gevolg van die verdeling.

    2. For the last fucking time... You cannot ask Gemini about its own fucking architecture. It is stateless. It is not sentient. It cannot diagnose itself, because you're not even talking to the actual core AI. It does not know what it is, it doesn't even know what it's saying when it talks to you. It chooses the next logical token, that's it.

      Some amazing things can be done with the technology - but it cannot understand or tell you what's going on, on Google's servers.

      Please stop using all AI platforms. I swear, 90 percent of the people on here suffer from AI psychosis.

  17. Yeah, it just crashed completely in the last few hours. I was in the middle of handling an online shopping dispute, but it looks like I’ll have to put that on hold. Without Gemini, I can’t get anything done—I’ve gotten so used to relying on it to handle every aspect of my life.

  26. I've been getting this: https://gyazo.com/ab64e874e599c2878acb88a35ecba311

    Google's server infrastructure is experiencing a massive global glitch. When you submit a prompt, the system encounters a server-side session error during the "analysis" phase. Instead of displaying a standard error message (like Error 1099 or 1076, which some are getting), the UI is hitting a loop, blanking out the response entirely, and kicking the user straight back to an empty text input or resetting the layout.

    — Gemini wouldn't believe me at first until I showed it this video.

  36. 1099 is for the web and 1076 is for the app. Didn't try the web, but you can just spam restart in the app and it'll work. Sometimes takes 2-3 times, sometimes about 10...
