About Discord outages
Discord's architecture separates the gateway (the persistent websocket that delivers events), the API, voice servers, and the media proxy for images and attachments. Each fails on its own and produces a characteristic symptom.
A gateway problem shows as the client reconnecting in a loop or messages appearing minutes late. An API problem lets you stay connected but blocks sending messages, editing servers or logging in. Voice issues are regional by design - Discord assigns voice servers per region, so switching a server's voice region in settings genuinely fixes some outages. Broken image previews with working chat point at the media proxy. Discord's status page is well maintained and lists incidents by component, and the platform is also a common casualty of Cloudflare incidents, since its edge sits behind Cloudflare.
What to do if Discord is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached discord.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Do not resend. The first message is almost certainly queued. Resending doubles the backlog you are waiting on and is why people receive the same message six times when service returns.
How messaging services typically fail
Messages sit with a single tick or a spinning clock. Group chats update out of order as the backlog clears. Voice and video calls fail before text does, because they need a live connection rather than a queue. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our messaging status page, with more background in how long outages last.
The link below unfurls into a live card showing the verdict, so whoever you send it to sees the evidence rather than your word for it.

Discord measured against its peers
How it compares with other messaging services
Over the last 30 days Discord ranks 2 of 4 messaging services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Discord sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is WhatsApp.
On speed, Discord answers our checks in about 173 ms against a category average of 466 ms - Faster than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 93 ms and the slowest 304 ms, against a 30-day average of 173 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every messaging service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure. Check it yourself.
Discord status: Common questions
Is Discord down right now?
Discord is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach Discord when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is Discord?
Discord has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does Discord have an official status page?
Yes - Discord publishes one at https://discordstatus.com/. It is the authoritative source for confirmed incidents, though official pages usually update after user reports have already peaked.
Discord discussion
Useful comments say what broke, roughly where you are and roughly when it started - That is what turns a pile of complaints into something other people can act on. Links are shown as plain text and carry no SEO value, so there is nothing here worth spamming.
