Problem reports started appearing around 9:30am UK time – but were largely resolved after 10am.

The main issue seems to be with Google Calendar – some users have reported issues with Gmail as well.

Online outage tracker Down Detector has logged thousands of reports across the UK.

Google users in the US seem unaffected.

What is Google Error 500?

The error message The Sun saw when trying to access Google Calendar read: “500. This is an error.

An error occurred. Please try again later. That’s all we know.

If the problem persists, see the Google Workspace Status Dashboard or visit the Help Center.

Error 500 is a generic response from the server that there is a problem.

It is not a great diagnostic for users, as it can be associated with many different problems.

Google Calendar is down – what happened?

At DownDetector, almost all Google Calendar complaints are related to the website, with some problems with server and app connectivity reported.

Google services are used by billions of people around the world, so any interruption could cause a major disruption.

We’ve asked Google for feedback and will update this story with any response.

Frustrated users flocked to Twitter to complain about the outage.

Someone wrote: “googlecalendar hey it looks like your service is having issues today.

“Workspace says it’s higher but I get a 500 error when trying to view my calendar.”

Another said: “Is there any problem with Google Calendar trying to sign in but getting error 500.”
