Incident Report

We are currently experiencing elevated error rates due to resource exhaustion issues affecting Google AI models used in our platform. This is resulting in intermittent request failures and degraded performance for some AI-powered features. Our team is actively working in close coordination with the Google team to investigate and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. This appears to be related to upstream capacity constraints. We will continue to provide updates as we receive more information.
