# Discord API Issues

> Troubleshoot issues caused by Discord itself.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Everything is slow or unresponsive">
    Check [Discord Status](https://discordstatus.com/) for ongoing incidents. If Discord's API is degraded, all bots (not just Flare) will be affected.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="'Unknown Interaction' errors">
    Discord requires bots to respond to interactions within 3 seconds. If Flare is under heavy load or Discord's API is slow, this timeout can be exceeded. Try again in a moment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Slash commands disappeared">
    Discord occasionally has caching issues. Try: Ctrl+R (desktop), or close and reopen the app (mobile). If commands are still missing after 1 hour, re-invite Flare.
