I've been experiencing a 5 to 10 minute delay in receiving emails through Google Workspace lately. It seems like quite a few users are having similar issues, according to Downdetector. When I check the email log, I see multiple messages indicating that emails are in progress but aren't getting delivered right away, such as 'Inserted into Gmail delivery pipeline' and 'Temporary System Problem. Try again later.' Have others noticed this too? What could be causing these delays?

I’ve noticed the same thing; my emails seem to be getting delayed by around 15 minutes. Strange spam emails are also making it through the filters more than usual—all day long!
Honestly, it’s a good reminder that email isn’t meant to be instantaneous. We might have to wait a little and try again later! Or switch to messages for urgent stuff.
It's been pretty chaotic lately with email delays. I heard Google might be experiencing issues, especially since Microsoft had some downtime recently. They're probably just dealing with a lot right now. Keep an eye on their status page in case anything changes!
Yeah, I checked their status dashboard and it's crazy how many incidents they're having right now.

Right? My Workspace for Education account is catching spam as usual, but my personal Gmail? A total disaster this morning with phishing stuff getting through.
