Google Search Console is currently not loading for many SEOs, webmasters, developers and site owners. It works fine for me in the New York, but some folks in India, Japan, Australia and some other locations it is not loading. Users are getting a 429 error when trying to access it.
Google has not confirmed the issue yet but it started around 6:50am ET this morning. Here are some of the complaints from the community:

Search Console isn't opening. 429 Error showing in GSC. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. @rustybrick @methode pic.twitter.com/PPz3bXig3M
