   We are aware of the current GCP outage and we are monitoring its impact on Census syncs to and from Google and Google Cloud Resources. Census does not run any critical components on GCP but we do use GCP resources, including Cloud Storage, to facilitate interaction with BigQuery and other Google Cloud resources.

   Internal monitoring indicates that syncs to and from BigQuery started experiencing increased failure rates at around 18:05 UTC. The rate of failures is now decreasing but has not returned to usual levels.

   Our monitoring systems continue to see a sustained error rate when communicating with Google BigQuery. We will monitor and report when the issue is resolved from Census' perspective. Google Cloud has provided additional information on their status page, located here: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1SsW

4. resolved2025-06-12 21:05 UTC

   Census systems remain unaffected as GCP comes back online. We are now seeing the majority of our GCP hosted customers have successful syncs.
