On Thu, Jun 12, 2025, Google experienced a global service outage affecting multiple online services. The issue was traced to a new quota feature introduced without adequate error handling or feature flag protection. The error resulted in a crash loop for the Service Control API, a critical component for service validation.

Google engineers identified the problem within ten minutes and initiated a manual override. Recovery was delayed in large regions such as Iowa due to task restarts overwhelming shared databases.

Startups relying on Google APIs faced service disruptions. The monitoring system, which typically provides service status updates, was also affected, leaving companies without visibility into the issue's cause.
