  • Summary: Gemini experienced a global service degradation from approximately 03:26 PT to 14:30 PT on 2026-06-11. Error codes 1076 (connection timeout) and 1099 (server-side session conflict) were reported globally across Flash and Pro variants. Google's engineering team stopped a background process causing missing conversation metadata. No detailed postmortem or root cause has been published.
  • Why it matters: Production integrations using the Gemini API should implement retry logic with backoff; the absence of a postmortem leaves the failure mode unclear.
  • Follow-up: Watch for Google postmortem with root cause.
