Is Google Gemini Down Right Now?
No, Google Gemini is not down right now. The Google Gemini status line here is that normal-or-not answer, live. The Gemini app at gemini.google.com and the assistant inside Google Search, Gmail, and Google Docs are answering prompts normally. If you are seeing an error on your screen, the trouble is likely on your side or a brief capacity squeeze rather than a full Google Gemini outage.
That said, Gemini has had real outages. In October 2026, more than 1,600 users reported a disruption that showed error codes 1099 and 1076 with a “Something went wrong” message across the Gemini app and Google Workspace. Google traced it to a backend database problem and said most users were fixed the same day. When Gemini is down, this page shows a spike in reports within minutes. Drivers skip the chat entirely, since a Google Maps route that freezes mid journey matters more than any answer.
Is Google Gemini Down for Me or Everyone?
Open gemini.google.com in an incognito window. If it loads there but not in your normal browser, clear your cache or try another browser. If the Gemini status looks fine here but your prompts still fail, the problem is usually your account, your network, or a regional routing issue rather than a Google Gemini outage affecting everyone.
Why Is Gemini Showing “Something Went Wrong”?
The “Something went wrong” message with error codes 1099 or 1076 usually means the backend cannot fetch the tools catalog for your request. This happened during the October 2026 incident when a database performance issue blocked Gemini inside Workspace apps like Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. There was no workaround at the time. Users just had to wait for Google to fix it.
If you see this error today, first retry the prompt. Shorter prompts sometimes go through when long ones fail. If the error repeats for every prompt, check the Google Workspace status dashboard. A widespread Gemini outage will show up there, and waiting is the only fix.
Why Are My Gemini Chats Disappearing?
In October 2026, thousands of users reported that recent Gemini chats vanished from their history. About 69 percent of reports during that outage were about AI generation failing, and missing conversation history was the second most common complaint. Google never fully explained the cause, though a similar incident in February 2026 was blamed on lost metadata.
If your chats disappear now, do not panic. They often come back once the backend recovers. Save important outputs somewhere else, like a document, so you never depend on chat history alone during a Gemini outage.
Why Is Gemini Slow or Not Responding?
Prompts that hang or return partial answers are usually a capacity problem, not a full outage. Gemini slows down during US business hours when enterprise use peaks, right after new model launches when everyone rushes to try them, and at the end of the month when free-tier users burn remaining quota. Free users feel these slowdowns before paid Gemini Advanced subscribers.
Try again during off-peak hours, such as late night US time. Shorter prompts also process faster when the system is busy. If every prompt times out for hours, that points to a real Gemini outage rather than normal load.
Why Is Gemini Not Working in Google Workspace?
Gemini inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Meet can break even when the standalone app works. The Workspace integration runs on separate backend systems, so an outage can hit one surface and not the other. During the October 2026 disruption, users saw “Gemini is not available right now” inside Docs and Sheets while the main app recovered faster.
If Workspace features fail, reload the document and check whether the standalone Gemini app works. If the app works but Workspace does not, the issue is with the integration, and Google usually fixes it within a few hours.
Common Google Gemini Problems and Fixes
Prompts Fail With an Error
Retry with a shorter prompt. If all prompts fail, check the Workspace status dashboard for a known Gemini outage. Wait for Google to resolve it.
Chat History Is Missing
Wait and reload. Histories often return after the backend recovers. Copy important answers to a document so you are not dependent on history.
Image Generation Fails
Image requests need more capacity than text. Try again later or simplify the description. Long waits that produce nothing usually mean the image backend is overloaded.
Gemini Advanced Shows as Inactive
Sign out and back into your Google account. Check your Google One subscription status. Billing hiccups can make a paid plan look inactive.
API Returns 503 or 429 Errors
A 429 means rate limit. Slow down requests and add retry with backoff. A 503 means the API backend is down. Check the Google Cloud status page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do when Gemini stops responding in the middle of a reply?
Long answers can stop when the connection drops or the session times out. Ask Gemini to continue, or split your request into smaller parts. Using shorter chats also lowers the chance of a cut-off reply.
Why does Gemini say something went wrong?
That message with error codes 1099 or 1076 means the backend could not process your request. It appeared for thousands of users during the October 2026 database disruption. Retry the prompt, and if it keeps failing, check the Workspace status dashboard.
Why did my Gemini chat history disappear?
Missing chat history happened during the October 2026 outage and again in a smaller February 2026 incident. Histories usually return once the backend recovers. Save important outputs outside the app.
Is Gemini slower than usual?
Gemini slows during US business hours, after new model launches, and at month end when free quotas run out. Free-tier users are affected first. Try off-peak hours or shorter prompts.
Why is Gemini not working in Google Docs?
The Workspace integration can fail independently of the main app. Reload the document and test the standalone Gemini app. If only Workspace is broken, Google is likely already fixing the integration.
How long do Gemini outages last?
Most Gemini disruptions clear within 30 to 60 minutes. The October 2026 database incident took most of a day before Google confirmed the majority of users were restored.
