On the Discord Status page, it appears that the issue has been going on for at least a few hours at this point. The company says that about half of users should be able to get back on the service without an issue and that they will continue to update as more users are able to gain access again.

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.

We'll be sure to update this article once Discord has the entire issue resolved.
