Gemini errors finally hit my Gemini.
CNET uses Google Workspace, so I went hunting through my Drive, Docs and Sheets earlier this morning to see if I was one of the affected customers. Now my time as “marked safe” is over, so I can share what the error looks like.
I first encountered the error when I asked Gemini (through Chrome on my Mac) to analyze the contents of a PDF that I uploaded. I had the flash model selected, which I immediately knew wouldn’t be the best model for the task after I hit “run.” But I didn’t have to wait long to fix my error, because Gemini couldn’t run the task at all. It ran for a second or two before reverting me to the prompt screen. In the lower-left corner, error code 1099 popped up, too quickly for me to screenshot.
I had to see if it was a fluke. I started a new chat with a seemingly easy web search for Gemini. The same thing happened — it tried to run for a second before almost immediately quitting. This time, it sent me back to the main homepage and had a different error code, shown above.
As of now, there’s no way to work around this issue. Luckily for me, these are both tasks that I don’t necessarily need Gemini to assist with.
