Okay - update - I've investigating this, and GPT4 gave me a few things to test. The first being to disable IPv6 on my server (after using ip a to find that my server does have IPv6) to see if that fixes it. For some reason, after adding the following config lines to /etc/sysctl in sudo:

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

And running sudo sysctl -p - this fixed it. I can now do requests.get to all Google services.

I'm also going to try to setup Google DNS to hopefully resolve this in the future.

I feel as if the issue could have been with my server provider - their IPv6 infra went down or something? Or Google changed some resolver in their Australian cloud services? The most annoying errors are the ones that occur outside of the codebase..

It could have been a network configuration issue in your environment. Glad you found a resolution. I will close this issue for now.
