## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2020-07-02 19:40 UTC: Discord is completely back to normal. The root cause was operator action. We were investigating some anomalous behavior on one of our systems (in our Guilds service) and we force-killed a process which unfortunately had a cascading impact. The system self-recovered like it was designed to, but that process took about 5 minutes for everything to settle down and return to normal.

_From the vendor’s published history: only the final update text is available for incidents before Rewindex began polling this page._
