Gemini failed while answering your prompt

Gemini ran into an unexpected problem with your prompt. The same message often carries a number such as (13) or 1185, and Google groups those codes under the same steps.

Is Google Gemini down right now? Operational: 46 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this error could come from there; right now it looks normal.
