Allow me to be the "me too" on this one -- we can confirm. In our case, we're using GSuite -- it looks like it even bounces for us when sending from GSuite to consumer GMail. No issues with external senders reaching us at this time. On Tue, Dec 15, 2020 at 3:37 PM mike tancsa via Outages <outages@outages.org> wrote:

Yes. One of my users is sending an email to someone that uses Gmail. And they get bounce backs that say “The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.” Checking the Google Workspace Dashboard shows issues again. https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 From: mike tancsa via Outages<mailto:outages@outages.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 4:42 PM To: Jay Ashworth via Outages<mailto:outages@outages.org> Subject: [outages] random gmail bounce issues ?

I assume that’s what they mean by “and/or other unexpected behavior” on https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en December 15, 2020 1:29:00 PM PSTWe're aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a significant subset of users. The affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages, high latency, and/or other unexpected behavior. We will provide an update by December 15, 2020 2:30:00 PM PST detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change.

Yes. I work for F12.net and we've seen a few clients get bounce backs in the last 30 minutes or so. On Tue., Dec. 15, 2020, 14:43 mike tancsa via Outages, <outages@outages.org> wrote:

I got bounces from my forwarded gmail account...in my forwarded gmail account. That was weird. Side note, anyone else get about 100+ google workspace alert emails late yesterday for their major outage? I thought something blew up again and noticed they all referenced that morning's outage.
