**Title**
NotebookLM customers may have experienced an issue where all premium
account tiers are being incorrectly downgraded to free.
**Description**
The issue with NotebookLM has been resolved for all affected users as
of Tuesday, 2026-05-19 21:04 PDT.
>From preliminary analysis, the issue was triggered by a recent software update resulting in accounts on premium plans being incorrectly recognized as free accounts.
The issue was mitigated by restoring the system to a previous stable
state, which successfully reinstated the appropriate service tiers for
all affected accounts.
We thank you for your patience while we worked on resolving the issue.
**Symptoms**
Customers may have noticed lower resource limits (e.g., hitting limits
for Studio artifacts, source count per notebook, etc) and the absence
of premium features like advanced sharing and analytics.
**Workaround**
None at this time.
