My App Engine logs show Cloud SQL connection errors since 17:31 UTC. I use 2nd generation MySQL 5.6. My SQL console shows that the instance is being updated since 18:39 (more than an hour ago). Perhaps that's part of the attempted fix.

unrelated but is there a reason why so many servers still seem to be on mysql 5.6? it's an absolutely ancient version, yet I keep running into it
