Gemini 2.5 Pro Batch API: Jobs stuck in PENDING/RUNNING for over 24 hours #2221

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing a critical issue with the Gemini 2.5 Pro model via Batch API. My jobs have been stuck in the JOB_STATE_PENDING (and some in RUNNING) state for more than 24 hours without any output or error messages.

Details of the issue:

Model: Gemini 2.5 Pro

Current Behavior: The system logs show successful batch_response_get requests, but the internal job status remains pending indefinitely.

Duration: 24+ hours (and counting).

Impact: This is stalling our production pipeline and data processing.

I have noticed several other developers reporting similar issues recently (some mentioning delays up to 4 days with 2.5 Flash as well). It seems like a broader infrastructure bottleneck rather than an isolated request error.

Questions for the community/Google team:

Is there a known outage or a massive backlog for Batch processing in specific regions?

Should we keep these jobs running, or is it better to cancel and resubmit? (Though resubmitting seems to lead to the same result).

Are there any internal timeout limits we should be aware of for Gemini 2.5 Pro batch jobs?
