While Discord has yet to issue an official statement, the scale of the outage suggests a server-side problem, likely affecting multiple regions simultaneously.
What Is the “Awaiting Endpoint” Error on Discord — And How Can You Fix It?
The “Awaiting Endpoint” error on Discord usually indicates that the app is struggling to connect to a voice server. This can occur due to server outages, network connectivity issues, or routing problems.
If the issue is local, users can often fix it by:
- Restarting Discord
- Switching to a different voice region
- Restarting their router or changing networks
However, in this case, the error appears to be linked to a widespread server outage on Discord’s end, meaning the fix must come from their technical team once the servers are back online.
