YouTube and many of Google’s other online services have broken, amid a major outage.

Everything from Gmail to Google Calendar appeared to have broken, as well as the video site.

Users instead saw error messages that informed them that the services had broken, though not why.

Till about 6 PM youtube was working fine, but it suddenly went dead thereafter, not responding at all. Relaunching the app didn't help either. Initially, I thought it was a problem with my data, but since WhatsApp was working fine, I got confused. Although my Gmail is working fine.

It's back to normal now.

Why did Google go down? It ran out of storage.

Google suffered a global outage on Monday evening, causing inconvenience to people who use services such as Gmail, YouTube, Drive among others. The sudden disruption baffled most people, including Google that took some time to figure out what went wrong with its several services. Finally, Google has an answer. Google says the outage was caused by an “internal storage quota issue”, which is not as simple as it sounds.

In a statement, a Google spokesperson told India Today Tech that its services experience what is an “authentication system outage” for about 45 minutes due to the said internal storage quota issue. To simplify this, the Google spokesperson explained, the internal tools that the company uses to allocate sufficient storage to each service that handles authentication did not work as expected. After the storage limit was exhausted, the system failed to automatically make more storage available, causing the system to crash.

Think of it like the situation when the hard disk drive on your computer runs out of storage and suddenly everything that is running on your system begins to crash. All devices and services need storage to operate but in an event where there is none available, the system simply stops working. Most Google services rely on authentication before a user enters Google servers and when the storage indicator tool did not acquire more space authentication tools stopped working.

A large number of services that Google offers, such as Gmail, YouTube, Drive, and Calendar, stopped working instantly. Not just Google’s own services, the third-party services that use Google’s authentication platform stopped working for users who were trying to log in. However, people who were already logged in were not affected.
