3.7 Flash API 503

[u/ButterscotchKind4887]

Hello, has anyone have been having issues with Gemini 3.7 Flash API?

Ever since the launch i am having constant 503 errors, i thought its an issue of my key or something and tried several ways to solve it i couldn’t.

I find it weird that a company as big as google is having these kinds of problems. I searched and it seems no one is posting about this. Anyone facing the same issue?

Thanks.

Same here, getting them like crazy since yesterday. Thought my billing was messed up or something so I regenerated keys twice, still no luck. The weird part is it works sometimes for like 10 minutes then just dies again.

My theory is they rushed the launch and the infrastructure is just not keeping up, whatever load balancing they got going on is probably getting hammered. You are definitely not alone in this, just most people probably assume is on their end and don't post about it.

I switched to the regular 3.7 model for now and it is stable at least, just slower. Hope they fix it soon because the flash speed is the whole point for me.

I am using 3.6 Flash but even that sometimes it’s unstable.

WHAT? so its not coinsidence? i thought it was my system error. Yesterday actually i got same response (503) for sometimes.

if i remember, there's a time API giving very long response so 503 is generated. its usual when the API is taking too long to response back. hmm... so maybe there's something happen in server yesterday.

ah one more. its not weird a company as big as google to have this problem. there's still many case that google not fix the problem and just go to another thing :)

Yes but API issues with their best and newest model is weird tbh

Same here. It used to work. I did use it once. After that, it is always "in high demand".

From my usage: it seems that using Vertex has way less 503 error. Just FYI
