Update - We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.
Sep 11, 2026 - 18:59 UTC
Monitoring - We have made several improvements - success rates and response times should be recovering.

Note that there is one remaining known issue that we are still working to resolve - the location and uule parameters are not currently reliable for locations outside the US. We have implemented a fix and are testing it now. Until it goes live, please use the gl, hl, and google_domain parameters to specify non-US locations.

We’ll continue monitoring performance to ensure stability. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or experience any further issues.

Sep 11, 2026 - 16:57 UTC
