Since Oct 14, 2026 every chart that uses a blend fails with “Data Studio has encountered a system error”. Charts on single sources (Google Sheets connector) in the same reports work normally.
What we tested:
- 3 independent reports with different owners: all blend charts fail.
- New minimal blend (2 Sheets tabs, left outer join on one text key, no filters, no calculated fields): fails.
- Blend that uses none of the original sources: fails.
- The
batchedDataV2response is{"errorStatus":{"code":13}}with an emptyrequestId(rejected before job creation).
No incident on the Google Cloud or Workspace status pages. Is anyone else seeing this? Any known issue or workaround?
Environment: Google Sheets connector, Chrome 154 / macOS, Google Workspace account.
