Google Cloud STT throws 503 error on first run

[chex7]

The problem

I've not tested this very thoroughly yet, but from googling I would guess that it, after the first fail, works for about 120 seconds whereupon it fails after that. This leads to me having to wake my assistant twice every time when using google_cloud as stt provider.

Which STT model and language are you using?

[chex7]

Language: sv-SE
STT model: default (also tried latest_short, same issue there)

Also happens to me from time to time:

Logger: homeassistant.components.google_cloud.stt
Source: components/google_cloud/stt.py:142
integration: Google Cloud (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 3:24:26 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 3:24:26 PM

Error occurred during Google Cloud STT call: 500 Internal error from Core

Trying again after failure then works correctly.
