The world's favorite gaming community messaging app, Discord, is down. Currently, users are unable to communicate with each other through the service and will have to wait until the company fixes the issue.
You can check out the status of Discord on IGN's sister site Down Detector. The site shows that issues started appearing about an hour earlier until almost all of its users experienced them.
According to Discord and its status page, it is investigating a widespread API outage that started around 11:49 AM PT today. About 15 minutes later at 12:30 PM PT, Discord identified the underlying issue with the API outage, though service remains spotty.
Discord has since instituted a rate limit on logins in order to manage the traffic load. Users who are already logged in are able to successfully use Discord now. The company will slowly raise the limits here to allow more users at a steady pace.
