Update: Google has confirmed it has restored Gmail and app service for all users.

The latest update from 12:10PM:

"The problem with Gmail should be resolved. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support. System reliability is a top priority at Google. We are making continuous improvements to make our systems better."

So far the issue is only listed as a 'service disruption' and not a 'service outage'. As such, it is still possible to check any mail you already have in your inbox, and it's only your hilarious morning office-wide joke newsletter that will have to wait until the service is back up-and-running again.

"We are continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by 8/20/20, 10:38 AM detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Gmail sending issues, Meet recording issues, Creating files issues in Drive, CSV user upload issues in Admin Console, Posting message issues in Google Chat, Sites adding new pages issues, Keep issues, Voice mail issues"
