- Check the status card at the top of this page. If Google Vertex AI reports an incident, the errors are on their side.
- Retry failed requests with exponential backoff (for example 1, 2, 4, 8 seconds, with some random jitter). Short 500, 502, 503 and 529 errors often clear within minutes.
- A 429 error means a rate limit or quota, not an outage: check your usage limits and tier, and slow down or batch requests.
- A 401 or 403 error usually means the API key is wrong, revoked or out of credit: check the key and your billing page.
- Check the model name: retired or renamed models return errors that look like an outage.
- Keep a fallback: route to another provider or model while Google Vertex AI is down (see the alternatives below), or use a router that switches automatically.
Google Vertex AI outage questions
Is Google Vertex AI down right now?
The card at the top of this page reads Google Vertex AI's official status page live, and times Google Vertex AI's API from our servers every few minutes. If the official page shows an incident, the problem is on Google Vertex AI's side.
When was Google Vertex AI last down?
We have not recorded a Google Vertex AI outage or degraded period since we started tracking it on Oct 7, 2026. Its uptime and the full history are on the Google Vertex AI outage history page.
Why does Google Vertex AI return 500, 502 or 503 errors?
These are server-side errors: the request reached Google Vertex AI but it could not answer. They usually come in bursts during incidents or heavy load. Retry with exponential backoff, and check the status above.
What does a 429 error from Google Vertex AI mean?
429 means too many requests: you hit a rate limit or a usage quota. It is not an outage. Slow down, batch requests, or raise your limit in your Google Vertex AI account.
