Reverting back to my username results in 'too many users have this username, please try another'

christian

I temporarily changed my username for less than a minute and when trying to revert back to my old one I received the error message 'too many users have this username, please try another'.  Discord should give the user a period of time to revert back since this was unexpected.  I also doubt the available slot for my username was taken in that time period. I had been using this username for several years and now I have to use a new one for all chats.

    Try coming up with your own unique username. Using popular usernames will cause issues.

    Yeah that is an alternative solution but I had been using my username for several years, changed it something else for less than a minute and then the application wouldn't let me switch it back.  It was just unexpected that would happen.

    No I still receive the message 'too many users have that username' when I try and switch it back and support told me that they couldn't do it for me.

    when changing your username discord assigns a random number between 0000-9999 as a discriminator, but instead of checking all ten thousand digits it will just pick a random one and check if it's taken. this means if you just keep pushing the button chances are you will find a number that hasn't already been taken. i know it's stupid but it usually works after twenty or so times

    Okay so, I tried doing it once or twice, but I had to wait 30 minutes in the mean time. Is this normal or is it just me?

    This happened to me just recently! It's a shame, I'd be using the same user ever since the account ways made so it's really not something I'd like to change to be able to continue;;

    Put the your discord tag in the place of your name it will generate you a new random number now try to change your name if it still not working than do this again
