Gmail experienced some issues with delayed emails for a few hours on Thursday. At 12:31PM ET, Google wrote on Gmail’s Workspace Status Dashboard that “customers impacted by this issue may see delay in sending the emails,” but at 5:03PM ET, the company posted an update that indicates things are fixed.
According to that update, “the issue with email delays was mitigated for the majority of affected users at [2:45PM ET]” and that “a few users may have observed delays until the full mitigation was done at [4:15PM ET].” Google says it plans to publish an analysis of what went wrong after it completes an investigation.
