If you have experienced impact outside of what is listed below, please reach out to Google Workspace Support using the help article https://support.google.com/a/answer/1047213. (All Times US/Pacific) Incident Start: 4 September 2025 00:08 Incident End: 4 September 2025 01:12 Duration: 1 hour, 4 minutes GWS- Affected Services and Features: Potentially all Google Workspace services may have been impacted for users depending on the point of ingress. Locations: Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria among other regions Description: Google’s production backbone is a global network that enables connectivity for user-facing traffic via Points of Presence (POPs) or internet exchanges. A disruption of fiber paths in the production backbone within Bulgaria reduced the available network bandwidth for the POP location in Sofia, Bulgaria. Although capacity for POP locations is planned with multiple redundant fiber paths, the remaining capacity for the Sofia, Bulgaria sites to the rest of the backbone could not support the traffic load after the series of fiber disruptions. Google engineers mitigated the impact by rerouting serving traffic to adjacent locations, restoring connectivity by approximately Thursday, 4 September, 2025 01:12 US/Pacific. Customer Impact: Impacted users would have encountered network errors and been unable to connect to Google Workspace services. |
