YouTube service was restored shortly after this Twitter post.

The error messsage on Gmail read: "We are sorry, but your account is temporarily unavailable. We apologise for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes. You can view the G Suite Status Dashboard for the current status of the service."

Google Docs users were served up this message: "Google Docs encountered and error. Please try reloading this page, or coming back to it in a few minutes,” YouTube just shows its error page with a monkey and states ‘Something went wrong’ along with a search bar."

Clarification from Google on the outage is expected.
