YouTube Studio partially down again, throws "something went wrong" on certain actions [Updated]

Update 31/03/26 – 06:21 pm (IST): While @TeamYouTube had earlier declared the issue fixed, the relief was short-lived since the problems have resurfaced (or perhaps never fully went away) for a chunk of users.

Google employee Vaish from the YouTube Team also confirmed on the support thread that teams are still actively investigating, noting that while some users are seeing signs of recovery, others continue to face errors when loading YouTube Studio and accessing the Analytics and Video Performance tabs.

@TeamYouTube has also acknowledged the ongoing reports via a fresh tweet, directing users to the same support thread for updates. So for now, it’s a partial fix at best, and a full resolution is still a work in progress.

Original article published on March 30, 2026, follows:

Just yesterday, YouTube Studio experienced an outage of sorts, and it took Google at least a couple of hours to fix the issue. And in less than 24 hours, the service is again not working properly. I regularly track our channel’s analytics on the YT Studio app, but for last two hours at least the app is throwing ‘Something went wrong’ error.

I waited all this while assuming it might be a temporary glitch, but with the problem still persisting, I checked around on X, Reddit, etc and found it’s quite widespread, and affects both mobile and web access of YouTube Analytics. Following are some reports from X:

Over on Reddit also, there are multiple threads discussing the same issue:

Even the ‘Earn’ section on the app, where it shows your channel’s earnings, isn’t showing up.

While writing this article, I stumbled upon a response from the @TeamYouTube account on Google wherein the support team confirmed a fix is being worked on.

It’s good that the company not only acknowledged the issue but is also actively fixing it. This likely means the service should be back to normal sooner than later. I am keeping an active tab and will update the article as and when it’s back up.
