Always noticeable as Discord will go down.

They extensively use Cloudflare, other than for voice channels which don't use CF's tcp/udp proxy (to minimize ping, since GCP is usually peered better globally).

Nitpick: Voice/video is run on dedicated hardware from various providers, since GCP networking costs would be obscene for that.
