• Google’s Nest Hub and Audio have stopped responding to basic commands for many users.
• The issue started a few days ago and is still ongoing.
• Simple things like the weather or time make Assistant spin and load indefinitely, without providing any answer.

I returned from my Christmas vacation a few days ago to find that my Google smart speakers and displays have decided to completely ignore me. I was asking a simple question, “Hey Google, what’s the weather?” — the same question I’ve asked countless times before, but all I got was the animation loading for several minutes and no answer.

At first, I thought it was a geolocation issue, but the weather was showing up accurately on my Nest Hub’s display and giving me all the details if I manually clicked on it. It was just bugging out with voice commands.
