Is Discord Down?

Check the live status indicator at the top of this page — it pulls directly from Discord's official status API every 60 seconds. If it says "All Systems Operational" the service is up. If the issue is on your end (your specific server, your bot, or your connection), Discord's overall status will still show green.

Discord outages typically come from one of: (1) AWS/CloudFlare infrastructure issues affecting Discord's underlying hosting, (2) Voice region failures (one region down doesn't mean global outage), (3) Database/cache issues affecting message delivery or login, (4) DDoS attacks, or (5) deployment-related bugs. The recent incidents log below shows the actual cause when Discord posts a post-mortem.

Common causes when Discord status shows operational but you have issues: your specific Discord server has a configuration problem, the bot you're using is offline (separate from Discord itself), your local internet connection is having trouble, or there's a regional issue not yet picked up by Discord's status page. Try restarting Discord, switching to a different network, or checking if a specific bot you're using has its own status page.

Status data refreshes every 60 seconds. Incident history refreshes every 5 minutes. We mirror Discord's official status API directly — anything you see here is what Discord is officially reporting.

Discord offers email/SMS/webhook subscriptions on their official status page (discordstatus.com). You can also follow @discordapp on Twitter/X for real-time outage announcements. For server-specific monitoring, deploy a VibeBot status bot that can ping your community channel when major outages occur.
