Discord suffered from an outage before today, the 2d 1 this week. The outage prevented users from sending messages or connecting to the app. The disruption affected the API, which is what enables users' power to log in, join calls, and send messages. This was the same problem influencing Discord that happened earlier in the week, and that outage lasted for a few hours.

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

Exiting or closing the Discord app and reopening it should restart the client. However, sometimes users will need to force quit the application. Unremarkably to strength quit an app, users demand to right-click the Discord icon and close it from there. On a desktop, a user can besides hit Crtl+Alt+Delete and expect for the app in Job Manager to strength information technology to close.

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