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.

Something went wrong (1076)
ReplyDeleteand 1099
DeleteI hate when I get a 1099.
Delete1099 is code.
Deletekeep failing
DeleteIf you keep retrying, it'll eventually work.
DeleteYeah, it's really annoying, but I have to refresh with each prompt! It'll do for now, I guess.
DeleteEventually work and force ur query in to Flash instead of pro
DeleteLike it’s only today. Whoever use Workspace have had this issue for months especially when asking Gemini to look in spreadsheets etc
DeleteSomething went wrong (2024)
Deletefinally someone said it. the amount of people asking if it is their local wifi or browser settings is getting ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIs that because they can’t ask Gemini what is wrong?
DeleteEdit: thank you, kind stranger, for my first award!
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.
DeleteAre you sure it isn't because I think about touching myself and God isn't just punishing me?
DeleteNo, it’s ceiling cat’s healthy reaction after watching you.
DeleteThat's certainly a factor. Google doin' the work of the Lord. 😂
DeleteAny parallelism to Lucifer or adiacent figures is purely a coincidence. Right, @google...? 🤔😂
DeleteYes it's the people who are asking questions fault, not the huge corporation that is doing dick all to inform it's users of a major issue currently happening
DeleteI am bad at tech, so I wanted to ask why the difference? I have had no issue using Gemini Pro through the bowser four the past five hours, on and off, with no issues.
Delete“Fable 5, replicate Gemini 3.1 Pro chat bot, make no mistakes”
ReplyDeleteSure thing. “Something Went Wrong (1076)”
DeleteYou reached your session limit

ReplyDeleteGood?
Haha I did the same thing.
DeleteThis is not what fine look's like gemini
DeleteHoward ?
DeleteYou won, chuck.
DeletePro is in high demand at the moment
ReplyDeleteAnother model was used for this response. This didn't count towards your limit.
Better give me unlimited pro for the rest of the day…Goddamn…
ReplyDelete"freeze all motor functions"
ReplyDeleteGemini what went wrong in 1076?
ReplyDeleteand why does it affect us in 2026
😂🤣😂🤣
DeleteThank you. This comment made me feel better. Seriously. Love a good sense of humor.
Lol, you think this will end the posts 😂
ReplyDeleteNo
DeleteThis 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.
DeleteInstead, 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
What?
ReplyDeleteWhat?

ReplyDeleteNo Workarounds.
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
DeleteThat's what I've been doing since the whole thing started, I'd say it's 50/50.
DeleteIt works for me, eventually I'm able to get a response refreshing the page, changing the model and hitting enter several times.
DeletePretty inconvenient tho.
lmao classic
DeleteThere is a workaround: Copy your message you just typed and paste it into the text box on the bottom in the already failed thread.
DeleteIs working on me but slow as fuck
ReplyDeletePro appears to be down, the free side is working just fine
ReplyDeleteNo, both are unstable.
Deleteyep both sides now down for me
DeleteThis is hilarious honetly

ReplyDelete🤨
I thought tung tung tung sahur was hacking my Gemini
ReplyDeletehttps://imgur.com/a/puwhxzr
Having no issues, I'm using it right now.
ReplyDeleteBut, 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?
Lucky you
DeleteMaar ook: Waarom Gemini Pro nu het gevoel geeft dat het achteruitgegaan is: een snelle uitleg**
DeleteAls 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.
DeleteFor 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteI just asked Deepseek instead.
DeleteGosh.. this is exhausting
ReplyDeleteWorks for me ™️
ReplyDeleteGemini has been down for several hours. What's going on???
ReplyDeleteIt's working for me(web)
ReplyDeleteit is okay now
ReplyDeleteI think it's just you guys
ReplyDeleteyup
ReplyDeleteSeems to be up now albeit slow.
ReplyDeleteI thoughts it's me. I thought Google didn't like my query
ReplyDeleteThey are probably implementing gemini 3.5 pro now in a hurry and it's all gone
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteI've been getting this: https://gyazo.com/ab64e874e599c2878acb88a35ecba311
ReplyDeleteGoogle'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.

ReplyDeleteexplains why I keep getting Hiccups aka repeating itself
ReplyDeleteThis have anything to do with Apple Rolling out their new AI beta that uses Gemini?
ReplyDeleteforce quit on Mac and reopen gets you 2 more prompts before it shits itself again. even before going down, it's gone downhill so much since the new update
ReplyDeleteThanks for the top post fren.
ReplyDeleteThere is a workaround: Copy your message you just typed and paste it into the text box on the bottom in the already failed thread.
ReplyDeleteI hit alt-f4 and that cleared things up on my pc
ReplyDeleteWhen did it go down recently. Is it cause of a chat page not loading I have one but all others is working in Gemini that is just strange to me
ReplyDeleteMine is 1013 error
Deletehttps://imgur.com/a/PB8y7Qg
ReplyDelete1099 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...
ReplyDeleteI thought they were trying to jack my tokens…
ReplyDeleteYoutube as well for .e
ReplyDeleteHeh, damn, I arrived today at a camping spot in the mountains and was wondering if my internet was spotty...
ReplyDeletegemini 3.5 PRO deployment??
ReplyDeleteIs gemini down?
ReplyDeleteThey’re spiraling from Claude Fable 5 Lmao 😂
ReplyDeleteI got the error message in chat earlier but Android Studio and anti-gravity cli are working just fine.

ReplyDeleteMines fine idk
It's working for me now!
ReplyDeletehttps://imgur.com/a/HNm6rfC
ReplyDeleteYou just created another post
ReplyDeleteI guess it’s time to find out what a 'regular Google search' feels like again. It's dark out here.
ReplyDeletehttps://imgur.com/a/wmONUJ6
It would help if the error message was actually useful and better than "Something went wrong".
ReplyDeleteIt says it’s fixed mine is still down app update cache cleared etc. anyone else?
ReplyDeleteFor me "3.1 Flash Lite" is still Down, but "3.5 Flash" works fine.
ReplyDeletePro is busy another model used limitation not applied
ReplyDeletethought it was just me. been hitting refresh for an hour, glad it is not my wifi this time
ReplyDeletebut it was not down for me in india.
ReplyDeleteGoogle is probably running a social experiment that stress tests their customers, like how long before kids start "un-aliving" themselves. Good luck to google and all the vulnerable kids they'll unalive with this sh*tshow.
ReplyDeleteI thought my network was broken.
ReplyDeleteit's still not working.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteIs this why some of my shit is acting weird
Like this morning it was acting fine now all of a sudden it's acting all shifty
Like it's not even picking up my images correctly it's just making shit up when it wasnt before

DeleteYup, still having issues. It's basically been useless for the past 2 weeks or more
ReplyDeletehttps://imgur.com/a/FiVqN7i
I just used it a minute ago, and it responded fine as usual.
ReplyDeleteThe Gemini app or Google AI on the website?
DeleteIt works for me, I just have to try to send the prompt a few times. Also don't people know what downdetector is anymore?
ReplyDeleteSo, it kind of sounds like it doesn't actually fully work since you have to send the prompt a few times. Even you are having issues of some kind.
Deleteyup that's what I meant. Right now it's back to normal tho
DeleteIt's fine for me 🤷
ReplyDeleteLucky you
Deletethank you I was gonna write a post about this. I’m on Google ultra 20x and now I can’t even use it
ReplyDeleteToo many requests in a short time period. Try again later.
It's not, it work perfectly fine here
ReplyDeleteSee, but others are saying it's NOT working perfectly fine. Your status and comment don't fix or cancel out the actual server issues.
DeleteIt does, because Gemini is not down. It is partially not working as people are used to. Does not mean it is down.
DeleteI see what you mean.
DeleteI'm over it. Cancelled my subscription. Claude only for now.
ReplyDeleteI mean it's not much difference from when it does work 🤷♂️
ReplyDeletehttps://imgur.com/a/M3dNFA2
ReplyDeleteStop lying. It is not down. And is working fine for everyone!
Now... Use gemini
DeleteThat is Gemini.
DeleteIs AI mode. Not Gemini web app
Deletethat is Google AI overview or AI mode. Gemini pro app is inconsistent. Keeps giving errors on some queries
