Discord is inaccessible, what’s happening?

The platform Discord today faces many problems, which have even made it inaccessible for some.

Discord has become increasingly popular in recent years. First designed for gamers, the platform, which is halfway between the social network and the messaging application, is increasingly popular for other activities, even being used by businesses. . It must be said that the interface works very smoothly, and is constantly adding new features. The service has recently improved its conference rooms. A real pleasure to use, except obviously when Discord breaks down, like today!

Discord in bug mode

Admit, you were scared this morning when you opened the Discord interface! Because the platform has experienced numerous failures in recent hours, which have ranged from the impossibility of sending new messages (or PMs) to simply seeing an error screen displayed for some announcing their blocking.

A phenomenon which was not at all trivial since it was reported en masse on the Downdetector site. In total, at least ten thousand reports were made from 11:30 a.m. until approximately 3 p.m., the time at which this article was written.

The problem has been spotted

The problem was quickly shared by users on X.com (formerly Twitter) where the Discord support service also communicated itself. First reporting a “ problem preventing users from accessing the application ”, Discord then updated the information made public to explain the causes of the problem.

“ We experience unusual traffic spikes that cause users to be temporarily blocked. Please rest assured that our team is working to mitigate the issue » was thus indicated by the company. At this time, an improvement has been observed by a certain number of regulars on the platform. Is a return to normal at the end of the day possible?
