Messaging platform Discord confirmed on Monday evening that all its systems are now operational after a widespread outage left tens of thousands of users unable to access the app.
According to outage tracking site Downdetector.com, reports of disruptions began pouring in earlier in the day, peaking at over 93,800 complaints by 6:19 pm ET.
What caused the Discord outage?
Discord initially reported an issue affecting certain communities — known on the platform as guilds — leaving some members unable to connect. The company’s status page later warned that the problem had “worsened,” leading to widespread availability issues across its network.
Engineers worked through the evening to restore service, with the company confirming all systems were back online by late Monday night. While Discord has not provided a detailed explanation of the root cause, the platform indicated that the matter was being closely monitored to prevent further disruptions.
How many Discord users were affected?
Downdetector’s figures are based on real-time, user-submitted reports, meaning the exact number of affected users could be higher or lower. However, with nearly 100,000 reports logged, the scale of the outage was significant, particularly given Discord’s role as a hub for gaming communities, online groups, and professional teams.
