How to check if Discord is down

Click Check Discord Status Now above. IsItGoneDown runs a global test and a local test simultaneously, so you know instantly which side the problem is on. Live community reports tell you whether other Discord users are hitting the same issue.

Why is Discord not working?

1. A Discord-side outage

Discord has high availability but does go down occasionally. When it happens, the entire platform fails at once and discordstatus.com updates within minutes.

2. Voice server region issue

Discord voice runs on region-specific servers (US East, US West, Europe, Asia, etc.). Any one region can fail independently while the others work fine. Server admins can switch the region in Server Settings → Overview.

3. Network block

Schools, offices, and public Wi-Fi frequently block Discord by default. If Discord works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, that's why.

4. Desktop app glitch

The Discord desktop client occasionally gets stuck on "connecting" or "reconnecting" when the web version works fine. Fully quit and restart the app — not just close the window.

5. API rate limit

If you're using a Discord bot or integration, hitting the API rate limit causes "something went wrong" errors. Wait a few minutes and the limit resets.

6. Account action

A muted server, disabled account, or banned user sees Discord errors that look like a full outage. Check if you can log into a different account.

Is Discord down for everyone or just me?

Because Discord has so many components (chat, voice, video, screen share, integrations), it's common for only one part to fail. A live check tells you whether Discord is fully offline or just partially degraded.

Why is voice chat not working?

Discord voice runs on regional servers. Your channel's region may be down. Server admin can change it.

Is my server down or is Discord down?

Try another server. If every server fails, Discord itself is down.

Why does Discord say 'API error'?

It usually means Discord's backend is partially down. Check discordstatus.com or run a live check here.

Is Discord blocked at school?

Yes — many schools block Discord. A VPN typically restores access.
