Discord has raised the maximum default server limit to 25 million users, just two months after increasing it to 2.5 million.
In July 2025, the platform expanded its cap from 500,000 to 2.5 million. Now, the ceiling has been pushed even further, allowing some of the largest online communities to grow significantly larger.
According to Discord, the update is paired with technical improvements aimed at reducing strain on massive servers. These include batching certain server updates and shifting more processes to asynchronous operations.

“In our July 2025 Patch Notes entry (only two months ago!), we mentioned that we increased the default user limit for servers from 500K to 2.5M,” they said.
“Well… we pushed that even *further* and have now bumped that limit to 25 million users. We also continued to solve larger server pain points by batching certain types of server updates and moving to more asynchronous operations to help bring more stability to large servers.
