Discord first reported increased errors a little over an hour ago, and shortly thereafter posted that it believed it had identified the core problem. Impacted users may be unable to start up Discord sessions.
The company has begun taking remediation steps, but this is still an active outage, and many users are still feeling the impact.
As of 4:10pm Eastern, Discord shares that it’s beginning to see its systems recover.
We’ll update this post with new information as it becomes available…
