Summary
Status: 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.
