We have multiple Gemini Batch jobs that have been stuck in BATCH_STATE_PENDING for over 4 days.
Per the documentation, batch jobs should automatically complete or cancel within 72 hours if unprocessed — so this appears to be a service-level issue.
This is the same pattern we saw last week when Gemini Batch was down for several days before being marked on the status page.
Currently, the Gemini status page ( Google AI Studio ) shows “All systems operational,” but the queue is clearly not processing new batches.

We’re paying for Gemini usage but can’t consume the service because batches are never processed — this directly impacts billing and workload throughput.
Please escalate internally or confirm if an incident is already being tracked.
