Discord suffered from an outage before today, the second i this week. The outage prevented users from sending messages or connecting to the app. The disruption affected the API, which is what enables users' ability to log in, join calls, and send letters. This was the same trouble influencing Discord that happened earlier in the week, and that outage lasted for a few hours.

Fortunately, today's outage only lasted for 20 minutes. Discord has reported that the connection has been fully restored, and people should exist able to access Discord once again. However, if users are still having connection issues, the Discord Twitter account suggests restarting the client to fix these problems.

Exiting or closing the Discord app and reopening it should restart the client. However, sometimes users will need to force quit the awarding. Ordinarily to force quit an app, users need to right-click the Discord icon and close it from there. On a desktop, a user tin besides hit Crtl+Alt+Delete and look for the app in Job Manager to force it to close.

If the connection bug persist, so we suggest that the user either restart their device or reconnect to the internet. A user has to first disconnect from the net to reconnect, which involves unplugging their router, waiting for a few seconds, and then plugging it back in.
