Google Docs/Sheets API Ongoing Outage - Influx of 500 Errors

Question

We're experiencing hundreds of thousands of 500 status code responses across the past couple days:

We're sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try reloading your spreadsheet.

Here is a raw request: https://gist.github.com/bryanhelmig/3dba25ec63e82221855b

• They are almost entirely on GET https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/private/full
• This started happening across the past 5-7 days
• It happens across many user accounts - it is not tied to a specific user
• Approximately ~8% for those API calls are 5xx, the others are a mix of 200/304/etc. as expected

Happy to provide more, deeper raw logs to anyone listening at Google. [email protected] is the best contact for me.
