Spotify and Discord are down

Alex Castro / The Verge

It's not just you or your internet connection that can connect to streaming services. Both services have acknowledged they are having problems within the last hour or so, however, this time the culprit doesn't appear to be any kind of massive DNS or Amazon Web Services problem. We haven't lost access to security cameras or robot vacuums, but the coincidence is still odd.

After restarting its streaming service to fix a problem, a new issue caused a failure of its API, and as of about 30 minutes ago, they were still investigating. We are looking into it, but didn't give any other details.

It won't make things easier if you're trying to listen to music or chat with friends, but engineers are working on the issues and hope to have both back online soon. Whenever more information is available, we will update this post.

Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!
