nano-banana, gpt-image-2 and other image endpoints accept requests and generate without error; what is slow is the downstream transfer of the response. Endpoints that return images as Base64 are therefore the most affected (large response bodies multiply the download time), while plain text endpoints are unaffected.
Current status:
- Image endpoints (Base64 responses): callable, with longer response times
- Text endpoints: normal
- Live concurrency: still high, with a few customers reporting the slowdown
