I don't know numbers, but their APIs have a bad uptime in my experience for some models. Too often failure because of "traffic too high".

Yeah I had a trial for AI Pro or whatever it's called and could never use Gemini CLI (when it still existed) because it was constantly "overloaded". Using the API directly (wihtout a subscription) sometimes works but the models are so buggy and the endpoints constantly spew errors that it's not usable. See this forum thread for example: https://discuss.ai.google.dev/t/frequent-503-errors-service-... it started with 503 errors since JANUARY and it's still not fixed. These are "stable" GA models!

I HIGHLY doubt that Gemini is overloaded, Google has been bullshitting with their crap models since release. Waste of everyone's time.
