Is Discord down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Discord right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Discord continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, voice / video chat, messages not sending, no notifications, can't connect and app keeps crashing. Those are the options the report button offers for Discord, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Discord specifically, messaging, voice, the API and sign-in are separate, and voice runs through regional servers you can change per channel. Voice can be broken in one region while text works everywhere, and an incident can reach some servers and not others. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Discord, open Discord in a browser instead of the app, then try a voice channel set to a different region. Text working while voice fails points at that voice region or your network. Everything failing in a browser on another network points at Discord. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Discord's side. Specifically: do not resend a message stuck on sending. Discord queues it and delivers it when the connection returns, so resending posts duplicates. Avoid leaving and rejoining servers, which needs the service you are waiting on. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Discord publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Discord itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at discordstatus.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Discord's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Discord or discord.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Discord's own support, not us.
