From preliminary analysis, the root cause of the issue was due to a large increase in work from an internal service which overwhelmed the available capacity on a backend database. Log ingestion was not impacted. Customer Impact: Customers experienced elevated read failures when attempting to query logs. Customers were unable to access logs in the Cloud Console due to query timeouts. Additional details: The issue has been mitigated and the problematic service has been identified and canceled.
