According to DownDetector, the fault occurred around 6:25 a.m. EDT (3:25 a.m. PST) and lasted for more than an hour. The Google workspace status dashboard showed that all the company’s services were down. However, Google search and “Chrome” seemed to work. After that, around 7:40 AM EST (4:40 AM Pacific Time), various services began to be restored.

We apologize to all affected people.” We plan to conduct a comprehensive follow-up investigation to prevent this issue from happening again in the future. “
