Incident Start: 25 August 2021 11:17

Incident End: 25 August 2021 16:07

Duration: 4 hours, 50 minutes

Affected Services and Features:

  • Google Voice

Description:

Google Voice experienced elevated call failures for mobile devices and some dedicated VOIP devices for a duration of 4 hours, 50 minutes. From preliminary analysis, the root cause of the issue was a rapid increase in VOIP registration traffic, which overloaded internal components. The issue has been mitigated by increasing capacity of affected internal components.

Customer Impact:

  • Less than 5% of Google Voice users experienced failures for inbound and outbound calls on mobile and some dedicated VOIP devices.
  • Users connecting through the web client would have seen significantly less impact.
