Whenever users tried to access any third party app, a number of 500 internal error alerts popped up and the process stopped there only. It was uninformed how long the problem with Google OAuth persisted. But the problem stopped approximately between 11:30 hours to 12:30 hours ET in Tuesday. The problem was regional and not every part of the world were victims of the glitch. The issue was encountered mainly in the United States.
