Official incident from Discord
Google Pay Outage
-
Official
Identified
We're currently experiencing an issue that prevents users from completing purchases (including Nitro subscriptions and Shop items) through the Android app. This is caused by an ongoing outage with Google Play. Purchases on other platforms (iOS, web, and desktop) are unaffected, and existing subscriptions remain active. We're monitoring Google's status and will post an update as soon as service is restored. No action is needed on your part — please try again later. https://pay.google.com/status/incidents/gQJsjf662F7KwPyiNqav

What our checkpoints saw
HostTracker's checkpoints, which test discord.com from several locations, recorded no outage of 5 minutes or longer during this incident. A provider can report a problem that affects only some features, regions or accounts, which a check of the main address does not see. The live Discord status shows what our checks see right now.
Does your product depend on Discord?
An outage like this one reaches your users through your product, and most teams hear about it from a customer rather than from a dashboard. HostTracker watches any endpoint you name - your own site, an API you call, a vendor you resell - from 300+ locations, confirms a failure from several of them before it says anything, and then tells you by email, SMS, voice call or your chat tool.
You get the same record you are reading here for your own services: every outage timestamped, with the checks that observed it.
