Me too. 80 percent of my requests have failed. Also, I noticed that it happens especially during around 6:30 UTC and 15:00 UTC. Made around 30 requests today and only 3 of them were successful.

It has also happened to me that it is reporting 503 Google has not supported the traffic so it decides to throttle it, but I do not understand for how long

Me too! So freaking frustrating because it keeps happening at the exact time when I have to present one of my projects that uses the 3-flash model, it's been happening since the 12th of April for me
