Discord Is Back After An Outage That Took Some Users Offline
Discord is recovering after a brief outage that left some users unable to use the popular chat app. At 3:08 p.m. ET, the company said it had begun investigating an issue with its API systems. Shortly after, at 3:24 p.m. ET, Discord said it identified the issue, but noted at the time that it was still affecting users, making it difficult for them to access the service.
“We continue to work to resolve issues impacting availability for some Discord users,” the company said at 3:56 p.m. ET. “This impacts our entire service, including logging in and sending messages.” Whatever the cause of the disruption, Discord seemed to resolve it quickly. As of 4:16 p.m. ET, the company said it was starting to see “significant recovery” in its systems. As of 4:59 p.m. ET, the service is not yet “fully healthy,” so if you’re having trouble launching the app, it may take a little longer before everything is up and running again. At 6:38 p.m. ET, Discord reported that “all critical features have been recovered for all users.”
Updated at 6:04 p.m. ET: The title and copy of this article have been updated to reflect that Discord is back online for all users.
