Blimey, why use a free Gmail account for a business critical operation? That's just asking for trouble.
They may be using the paid, enterprise G Suite/Google Workspace Gmail: https://workspace.google.com/products/gmail/ .
What is a status page that has the time without timezone
Very surprising it’s not localised.

On the other hand, their status dashboard reported similar issues yesterday and here we are again: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status
As quite a few googlers appear to read and write on HN, I'd really welcome an insider info on what's going on the last few days. Sure there will be some internal turmoil going on right now, but isn't there some non-confidential info to share? Can't imagine this will hurt the image of google neither in the short nor long run, quite the opposite.
I would advice anyone to not share any information that his company hasn't agreed explicitely to share.

In lieu of an actual Googler, how about some educated speculation? It blows my mind that Google can even have problems like this. Aren't their apps highly distributed across tons of CDNs? Don't they have world class Devops people that roll out changes in a piecemeal fashion to check for bugs? How exactly can they have an issue that can affect a huge swath of their customers across countries? Insight appreciated.
If this had happened on self hosted email server, people would be claiming "this is why you don't self-host email". My company self hosts email and we have never had an outage of this sort. ever. All support emails to gmail accounts are now bouncing for us. It's also been more than 2 hours since this problem started.
