Discord experienced a major outage that affected users' ability to send and receive messages. The downtime was brief, with users noting that the team responded quickly—within nine minutes—from identification to monitoring the issue. Some users reported that while they could access the app, messages did not load, and interactions were interrupted during this time. The outage has been resolved, but it highlights ongoing issues for some users with account verifications and bans, suggesting that the platform's automated systems may need reassessment. Additionally, there were anecdotal mentions about a new UI rollout being experienced by some users, possibly hinting at ongoing A/B testing during the incident.
