Why Does It Show You Are Being rate limited on Discord:
The following can be the reasons for getting the notification:
1. Discord Temporarily Blocked you
Discord may have temporarily blocked you, due to some inappropriate action, because of which you are unable to log in to your account. And as you have attempted too many times, it is showing “you are being rate limited on Discord”.
The inappropriate activity is a violation of terms of use and services, sending and sharing inflammatory content, misbehavior with other users, etc. These can be some of the common reasons for temporarily blocking the users.
Since Discord has temporarily blocked you, after some days it will lift the block and you will be able to use Discord again like before.
However, since you have been blocked once, all your activity will be monitored by Discord. Hence you have to be very careful about the activity you do on Discord.
Another prominent reason for this notification can be, that someone other than you is trying to log in to your account.
As you know, the notification, “you are being rate limited on Discord” is only shown when there are too many log-in attempts, continuously. Seeing this activity, discord many have found something fishy, hence to prevent unauthorized access or a harmful reach to your account, discord is showing that when you are logging in.
Well, if this is the reason, then you do not have to worry. It will be all fine in a few hours. You have to wait for a few hours, without doing anything with your discord account and once the line is clear, try logging in.
Make sure, at least for this time you do not take more than one attempt.
