After a major disruption, Spotify and Discord are finally back online

For the time being, both Spotify and Discord are back up and running for us.

After a short but significant interruption, Spotify and Discord are again back online.

We discovered that we had been unintentionally logged out of our Spotify accounts at around 1.22 p.m. ET on the day when Spotify’s Twitter account stated that “something’s not quite right.”

On our second attempt, the service just sent us to the login page. Just a note stating the obvious explains all “Someone or something went awry. I’ll give it another whirl.”

Strangely, even if your Spotify account was set to offline, you weren’t logged out, but music didn’t seem to be playing. At the very least, when we tried it on our Google Pixel 6 Pro, the downloaded tunes were available offline. After connecting to the internet, we saw that we were instantly locked out of the programme.

Even though Spotifiy indicated it was investigating the issue, the outage appeared to have been resolved with no explanation provided.

Due to the fact that services like Spotify and Discord rely on Amazon Web Services for their infrastructure, we had a sneaky feeling that this was the cause of the outage.

There was no difficulty with Amazon’s AWS Heath Dashboard, according to Amazon, and the business has said that this is not true.

Discord was also taken offline.

A message failure issue was reported at 1:25 p.m. ET by Discord, which said that its services were experiencing issues at the time of this writing. The problem was that we attempted to connect the app, but it merely got stuck in the connection step.

A seemingly API-related error has now been resolved. The service is currently operational and accessible.

Social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram went down. However, we did not find them recoded in Downdetector.

The outages may have been limited to a certain section of a country, rather than affecting the whole country. Facebook and its parent firm Meta have made no mention of any downtime.

Because of this, it seems that these widely used services are up and operating as of the time of this writing. Even so, they gave us a whiff of the Tuesday blues with their performance.
