Gmail users reported an unusual outage. We started to get reports around 11:15 AM PDT. The issue appeared to be primarily located in the US but has also seen some Canadians report problems getting access. Other areas’ statuses are unknown at the time of posting.
The outage appears to have lasted about 15 to 25 minutes.
Google hasn’t said what triggered the outage. Its service has historically been reliable and seldom drops as quickly and broadly.
