On 10 September 2026, an outage hit Discord. Users flagged voice calls failing to connect and saw a "waiting for voice server" error. Downdetector logged thousands of complaints about broken calls. App and website issues were also reported. The problems hit voice chats, with many users saying calls failed to start or dropped out.
Outage reports continued into 11 September, hitting users in the US and elsewhere. The Sunday Guardian and Asbury Park Press covered the outage. AOL.com carried a Discord status update. Downdetector still listed complaints. Discord gave no stated solution or restart time, so users were left waiting for service to return.
