JAKARTA After Google Drive, now Gmail is reported to be having problems affecting user experience (UI). This problem caused email delivery to be delayed for several hours.

Through the Google Workspace Status Dasbor, the company admits that some users globally cannot send emails for 4 hours 45 minutes. This problem with the Mini Incident category occurred on Thursday, November 30.

From the results of Google's analysis, this incident occurred due to an overload on the Google Message Router (GMR). Although it had caused losses to several parties, Gmail is claimed to have operated normally again.

"Every email that is delayed after entering our system will be retested automatically and should be sent within hours of mitigation," Google wrote in their dashboard statement.

With the emergence of this problem, Google said that it would publish the results of an analysis related to the incident. In addition, a team of Google technicians is also trying to work on mitigation so that the incident does not happen again.

As of Friday December 1, the number of affected users is not yet known. However, 700 people have reported pending email problems in their Gmail according to a Downdetector report.

Although it seems that only a small number of users have been affected, delayed emails can still be a big problem. What's more, this problem arises during US working hours.
