If you just got the message that you’re blocked on Discord: the messenger is currently having problems on its end.
Update 09/29/2023 3:20 PM: Discord has identified the issue and is working on a fix.
In the last few hours, numerous Discord users around the world have received an unexpected and worrying notification: their accounts appear to be blocked.
These alarm bells were triggered by a large-scale glitch in the popular messenger service that has left many users confused and worried.
But the good news is: This is a widespread problem that is not due to individual breaches.
Cloudflare seems to be the problem
Reports of confused and concerned users are piling up on various online platforms. Many of these users claim to have committed no violations and yet are faced with the message that they have been blocked

Discord was quick to get back to us and confirm that this is a system-wide issue that they are already actively addressing.
This means that those affected by this glitch have not violated Discord’s Terms of Service.
It seems that the outage is related to Cloudflare , which is currently experiencing issues with its dashboard and API service and is performing planned maintenance on its data center in Doha.
Restarting helps in the short term: In many cases, it has already been found that simply restarting the Discord app can temporarily resolve the issue.
Currently, the problem seems to be mostly related to the desktop version. The smartphone app seems to have less to no issues.
However, it is recommended to watch for official communications from Discord and be patient. You can view the current status of Discord here at (discordstatus.com)
We will continue to keep an eye on this situation and keep you updated on any developments.
