Why Can’t I Change My Discord Avatar:

There you can take these things below as reasons:

1. Changing Profile Picture Too Fast

Discord’s avatar can be changed from time to time. However, if you’re being too fast in changing your profile picture, maybe twice or thrice within some minutes, you’ll be either logged out or shown an error message immediately.

Although the app is a great streaming platform, the users most of the time experience the avatar changing issue where they get logged out of their account for changing their profile photo. This happens when the user tries to change it for the third or fourth time within a few minutes. 

Although it does not have any specific limit for how many times you can change a profile avatar in a period if you do it too fast or within a few minutes, it will either log you out of your account or show an error message asking you to try again later. 

2. App Bugs

Often the error message during the time of changing the avatar is shown when Discord’s server is down or the app is experiencing some kind of bug. When the app is experiencing a glitch, many of its features won’t function properly or will show an error message when you try to use it. 

If you’re not able to change the profile avatar of your Discord profile, then wait for the glitch to get fixed after which you need to try and change it. 

All kinds of apps experience glitches that automatically get fixed without needing to file any kind of report. 

3. Using Discord Bots

If you’re using discord bots on your server, you should remove or stop using them.

You don’t have to remove the bots permanently but just for some time as bots can cause problems to the profiles as well as in the server. Bad bots can hack into your account to steal data or perform malicious activities by breaking in. 

The bots have to be removed from Discord’s Settings so that it doesn’t affect the functionality of your profile.
