Here’s the current update log from Discord:
Update – More than half of Discord users are back online and working normally. We continue to work to bring the rest of the users back online.
Jan 26, 13:07 PSTUpdate – We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.
Jan 26, 13:06 PSTUpdate – The database is healthy again and our internal error rate has fallen to nominal levels. We are beginning to raise the login rate limit to allow users to reconnect.
Jan 26, 12:29 PSTUpdate – We are continuing to work through some issues with one of our database clusters. We are still rate limiting login traffic. Next update in 15 minutes.
Jan 26, 12:21 PSTUpdate – We have instituted a rate limit on logins to manage the traffic load. Users who are logged in are successfully using Discord at this point, and we will be slowly raising the limits here to allow more users in as we can. We expect this to be resolved in the next 15 minutes.
Jan 26, 12:07 PSTIdentified – We have identified the underlying issue with the API outage but are dealing with a secondary issue on one of our database clusters. We have our entire on-call response team online and responding to the issue.
