It's completely nuts that Firebase has this: https://status.firebase.google.com/incidents/ZcF1YDUvpdixZ2e... "Firebase Data Connect unavailable due to a known Google Cloud global outage" While the Google Cloud status page https://status.cloud.google.com/ says "No major incidents" and everything is green. So Google Cloud know there is an outage but just deem it not major enough to show it. Edit to add: within 10 minut…

More likely they are unable to update their own status page, but in either case not covering themselves in glory over at GCP right now.

Maybe the outage is preventing them from updating that specific page? Hmm EDIT: Looks like it has been updated now (6:49 PM UTC)

:))))))

I hope this is the case, or google is super unreliable for production grade work.

This extra funny that GCP status page even includes a “last updated” time, which is exactly built to convey possible failure to update in cases like this

No major incident as of “ Last updated time: 12 Jun 2025, 11:48 PDT”

It looks like that it is a central service @ Google called Chemist that is down. "Chemist checks the project status, activation status, abuse status, billing status, service status, location restrictions, VPC Service Controls, SuperQuota, and other policies." -> This would totally explain the error messages "visibility check (of the API) failed" and "cannot load policy" and the wide amount of services affected. cf. h…

There are multiple internet services down, not just GCP. It's just possible that this "Chemist" service is especially externally affected which is why the failures are propagating to the their internal GCP network services.

Absolutely possible. Though there is something curious:

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

At Cloudflare it started with: "Investigating - Cloudflare engineering is investigating an issue causing Access authentication to fail.".

So this would somehow validate the theory of auth/quotas started failing right after Google, but what happened after ?! Pure snowballing ? That sounds a bit crazy.

Almost an hour to update the page...

I use Expo intermediation for notifications, but with this Google context, I imagine that FCM is also suffering, is that possible?

Very likely. Firebase Auth is down for sure (though unreported yet), so most likely FCM too
