Timeline

Incident updates

Updates are normalized from the official source chronology so timeline changes remain easy to scan.

  1. Investigating

    We are currently investigating elevated error rates affecting the Translate by Zapier integration. Starting at approximately 2:00pm UTC on July 20, 2026, users of this integration have been experiencing 403 "User Rate Limit Exceeded" errors when attempting to use the translation features.

    What's Happening

    Our investigation has identified that the Google Cloud Translation API v2 is returning rate limit errors for requests from the Translate by Zapier integration. This is causing approximately 88% of translation requests to fail. We have confirmed that this issue originates from Google's API, not from Zapier's systems.

    Who's Affected

    Affected users may see failed translation steps in their Zaps, though the errors are not automatically disabling workflows.

    What We're Doing

    Our engineering team is actively investigating mitigation options. We will provide updates as we make progress.

    Next Update

    We expect to have more information soon. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

  2. Resolved

    Earlier today, some Translate by Zapier requests failed with 403 “User Rate Limit Exceeded” errors due to a Google Integrations Production Google Cloud billing configuration issue.

    This has been resolved and we’re seeing successful translations again with no ongoing errors.

    If you had Zap runs fail during the incident window, you may need to replay those runs to complete processing.
