Discord Error 50012, "Gateway unavailable," means that Discord's servers could not make a connection. If you want to get rid of that situation, change your server region to a different location or verify the Discord server status page.

The error 50012 (Discord) appears because of the lack of permissions, and its resolution is based on how to change the roles in the server or obtain the administrator role or reenter a server.

Discord‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Error 50012 will commonly be displayed when the application is not authorized to join or stream in a voice channel and is mostly caused by incorrect permissions for the roles, lack of admin rights, or a temporary server issue. To resolve the problem, ensure that you have the right voice permissions on the server, rejoin the voice channel, restart Discord, turn off your VPN if it is on, and if the issue persists, try logging out and back in or reinstalling ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌Discord.

Discord Error 50012 is mostly a result of the attempt to link a third-party service (like Spotify) with an invalid OAuth state or network interference. The solutions to this problem include turning off VPN or iCloud Private Relay, restarting Discord, or trying to link through a private/incognito browser.

Discord Error 50012 is most of the time related to the issue of improper update or installation of the Discord desktop app due to corrupted cache files, unstable internet connection, antivirus/firewall blocking, or lack of sufficient permissions on the system. To resolve it, a restart of both Discord and your PC should be done as the first step. Next, you can try running Discord as an administrator, verifying your internet connection, temporarily disabling antivirus/firewall, removing the Discord AppData cache folders, and lastly reinstalling Discord with the latest installer from the official website.

Discord Error 50012 is commonly an "Invalid OAuth State" problem and is most frequent when establishing a connection between accounts (e.g., Spotify) caused by session problems, VPNs, or browser, related issues, and the error is resolved by performing a log out/in, clearing the cache, ensuring the VPN is off, or using a different browser/device to complete the authentication handshake again.
