Discord changes course and lowers its free upload limit to 10GB – how does this affect you?

In April 2023, I reported that Discord had fixed one of the biggest issues: increasing the free upload limit for file sizes in servers. It was a pitiful 8 MB for non-paying users for years, but was increased to 25 MB. Good news, right?

It was truly a sign that the extremely popular text and video chat social media site had finally paid attention to the vast majority of its users and their needs. Unfortunately, it recently paid attention to that need again, and not in a good way.

The official discord support page The support page, which outlines how Nitro Basic and Nitro — the site’s two paid subscription tiers — work, also includes a brand new clause explaining that Discord has lowered the upload limit from a juicy new 25MB to 10MB. According to the support page, “storage management is expensive” and “in order to maintain our service without sacrificing storage quality, we’ve decided to lower the upload limit for free files.”

Apparently, Discord analyzed how much storage space non-paying users actually use and found that “99% of users” tend to upload files smaller than 10MB. As a result, it decided to lower the storage limit to that amount. Of course, we’ll have to take Discord at its word here, since it hasn’t published the results of this study, but the reasoning for the change seems reasonable on the surface.
