Gmail, Google’s email provider, faced outage on Monday while many users tried logging into their accounts. Over 1,900 reports were recorded on outage detector website Downdetector around 6pm before the platform was restored again.
Downdetector reported that over 60% of the users reported problems with the Gmail website while 31% faced difficulty while logging in. Many users shared screenshots of the website on Twitter when they faced the outage. “502. That’s an error. The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds. That’s all we know,” read the message displayed on their screens.
