For the Gmail users, one of the key issues is that they are unable to connect to the server. This means, people are not able to receive or send emails or access their inboxes. Also, they can face issues with other Gmail-linked services for scheduling events or joining video calls.

A similar issue has been reported among the Google Cloud users who complain about not being able to check their accounts.

According to 9to5Google, failed login attempts on the search engine are showing up as “502” error to some users. Further, services that support log-in with Google remain affected by the issue.

Notably, Google's Workspace Status Dashboard did not mention facing any problems, despite widespread reports related to login issues.
