Update timeline

  1. investigating Jun 18, 2026, 06:46 PM UTC

    Our monitoring systems have detected a potential issue with V3 transcriptions API failures. Our engineers have been alerted and are investigating. We will provide an update when we have more details.

  2. investigating Jun 18, 2026, 07:46 PM UTC

    We are investigating a service interruption with the V3 Transcriptions API. At this time, all batch transcription requests using the Google TTS chirp_2 (en-US) model are failing with PERMISSION_DENIED errors, resulting in a complete service outage for V3 transcription workflows. The root cause is a vendor-side issue as Google has blocked access to the chirp_2 model. We are actively working with our provider to resolve this and will provide another update once more information becomes available. If users are seeing issues with Google TTS chirp_2, using the Deepgram Nova3 language model is a potential workaround at this time.
