Sending messages to this channel has been temporarily disabled

Discord is one of the communication platforms that has grown the most in recent years, especially in the Gamer community. Its low use of resources together with the large number of options and functions that Discord makes available to its users has made more and more people decide to use this platform. However, although Discord works really well, this does not mean that users will encounter certain problems, such as: Sending messages to this channel has been temporarily disabled.

Discord Sending messages to this channel has been temporarily disabled
Usually, this error message is something that is usually displayed when the admin of a Discord channel restricts someone from sending certain words or blocks comments from a specific user. However, sometimes the error message “Messaging to this channel has been temporarily disabled” may not be due to channel admin restrictions but to something else.

Discord users have occasionally seen the message Sending messages to this channel is temporarily disabled if there is a problem with Discord's own servers or their own network settings.

If you are trying to send a message to a Discord channel, but you are getting the above mentioned error message, here is a step by step how to fix the error message: Sending messages to this channel has been temporarily disabled

Check if the Discord servers are down or inactive.
Access the following link from your browser: Discord Server Check

Once on the indicated website, you will see the information about the Discord servers.

If it turns out that the problem is due to the Discord server, there is unfortunately little to do, since it is Dicord that must solve this problem.

Connect to a different network
The other possible error could be due to the network your device is connected to.

If you are using Discord on your computer, you can try using the mobile app connected to the same network to see if the messages can be sent without problem.

If you are still unable to send messages on the Discord channel, you will need to connect your device to a new network.

If this solves your problem and you can now send messages from a Discord channel without receiving the error, it tells us that it is likely that the network you were connected to is the one with some kind of problem.

Disconnect from your VPN service
The first step to fix Sending messages to this channel temporarily disabled error when you suspect that the problem is related to your network and you use a VPN service, will be to disable that service. For it:

Sign out of Discord.

Deactivate the VPN service you are using.

Sign back into Discord.

Try again to send a message.

If your VPN service is causing the issue, it could be because Discord is blocking the service or experiencing an outage.

Change your computer's DNS settings.
If there is a problem with the DNS server you are using, Discord may not work properly and when we send a message we receive the error: “Messaging to this channel has been temporarily disabled”.

Once the DNS is changed, try to send a new message to the Discord Channel to see if you can now send the message without receiving any error.
