On June 10, 2026, beginning around 10:10 UTC, ThousandEyes detected a Google Gemini service degradation that resulted in its AI chatbot failing to reply to some users. No network packet loss, elevated latency, or reachability issues were observed toward Gemini’s frontend infrastructure, suggesting the disruption was related to backend issues. Service appeared to recover around 17:25 UTC, but degradation resumed at approximately 21:15 UTC and persisted until around 23:15 UTC, when service was fully restored. Google has since attributed the incident to a database performance issue.
