Why did Google services suffer an outage?
Responding to the outage, Google has issued a statement. “Today (Monday), at 3:47 AM PT Google experienced an authentication system outage for approximately 45 minutes due to an internal storage quota issue. Services requiring users to log in have experienced high error rates during this period. The authentication system issue was resolved at 4:32 AM PT. All services are now restored. We apologise to everyone affected, and we will conduct a thorough follow up review to ensure this problem cannot recur in the future,” said the spokesperson.
This isn’t the first time that Google services have suffered an outage. Back in August, Google services such as Gmail, Google Search, and Google Drive were down in various parts of the world, including India. During the outage, users were unable to receive new attachments on Gmail, while others were facing log-in issues and few were unable to receive new messages.
