This is not true. i am logged in to gmail and getting 500 err edit:parent updated comment

That's what the GP is saying.

the parent comment to mine at time of writing was just:

> It is all green if you do not need to be log in.

Giving the impression if you were logged in/didn't need to log in, that everything would be ok.

I feel like Google is having more outages recently. I worked there for 4 years and even in such a short time you really noticed the shift from engineering focus to business focus. But maybe it is just a coincidence.

Or all the diversity hires.

Also Google Voice. I ctrl+F'd for that one, and it's one thing I haven't found a way to easily degooglefy from. Also down.

Gmail said my account was "temporarily" unavailable... had a moment considering if it wasn't temporary. Good reminder to remove my reliance on gmail especially.

Same for me - and then I tried logging in to gmail in an incognito window and got "Couldn't find your Google account" which really scared me.

It looks like the auth service is broken. Everything works when logged out. Attempting to log in gives "Account not found".

EDIT: Looks like they logged everyone out while they fix the auth issue, presumably so people can use YouTube and other stuff that doesn't necessarily need login?

It is all green if you do not need to be logged in . If you are logged in, the page crashes with an error. You can still browse all services from Incognito (which for some is not an option).

Try YouTube, which is totally broken. But I guess it's technically not part of /appsstatus

Youtube Tv too

Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is

What's the point of having a status page when it can't reliably tell you the factual status?
