If Firebase isn’t working for you
Firebase is Google's app development platform with authentication, Firestore and Realtime Database, hosting, cloud messaging and analytics.
Common Firebase errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
auth/too-many-requests | The number of requests exceeds the maximum allowed. | Your side | Slow down sign-in attempts and add backoff. Source |
auth/internal-error | The Authentication server hit an unexpected error while processing the request. | An outage | Retry, and check the Firebase status dashboard if it persists. Source |
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED | Firestore quota was exceeded, for example the free tier quota on a project without billing. | Your side | Enable billing or wait for the daily quota to reset, and ramp traffic up gradually. Source |
DEADLINE_EXCEEDED | A Firestore operation took longer than its deadline (60 seconds by default). | Heavy load | Retry with backoff and check for hot spots or very large operations. Source |
Is it just you?
- Check the Firebase status dashboard for the specific product (Auth, Firestore, Hosting, Cloud Messaging).
- Look at your project's usage page; Spark plan projects stop at daily quotas.
- Permission errors usually come from your security rules, not an outage; test them in the Rules playground.
- Try another Firebase project or region to see whether the problem is project-specific.

Firebase is several products, and incidents usually affect one at a time. Check the Firebase status dashboard for the product you use, and this page's live checks.
A quota was exceeded, often the free tier quota on a project without billing. Enable billing or wait for the quota to reset.

Get alerted when Firebase breaks your app.
If your product or your team depends on Firebase, its outage is your outage, and your users will blame you, not Firebase. Point a Site Qwality monitor at the Firebase endpoint you actually rely on, put your own site next to it, and we alert you on Slack, email, SMS or any webhook the moment either one stops answering.
