Outbound IP banned by Cloudflare (error 1015) when connecting to discord.com

Posted by qwerty1 in discord-bots.

Hi, I run a Discord bot ("Qwertylink") on one of your free servers, and it's been unable to reach discord.com for the past several restarts. This isn't the general free tier slowness mentioned in your Discord announcement — it's a hard Cloudflare block on my container's outbound IP. The error: Every Discord API request from my bot fails with an HTTP 429, but the response body isn't Discord's normal rate limit JSON — it's a full Cloudflare "Error 1015" HTML page stating: "The owner of this website (discord.com) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website." My container's outbound IP: 78.154.103.6 Cloudflare Ray IDs from the blocked requests (for your reference/escalation): a28cadd5bbe1c9f1 — 2026 08 10 05:42:45 UTC a28cb438490fe432 — 2026 08 10 05:47:06 UTC a28cb438992ee432 — 2026 08 10 05:47:06 UTC a28cb4687e40e432 — 2026 08 10 05:47:14 UTC a28cb468be5be432 — 2026 08 10 05:47:14 UTC a28cc04e1e38e406 — 2026 08 10 05:55:21 UTC Timeline: This started around 5:42 PM local time today and has persisted across multiple full server restarts (I've restarted the container 3+ times since first seeing it, roughly 20+ minutes apart). Same IP, same block, every time — restarting doesn't get me a new IP since this appears to be a fixed IP tied to the node. What I'm asking: Is 78.154.103.6 currently blocklisted by Cloudflare due to other tenants on this node making excessive requests to discord.com? A single small personal Discord bot (fewer than 50 slash commands, minimal API calls) wouldn't trigger this kind of ban on its own. Can I be moved to a different node or assigned a different outbound IP? If this is a known/recurring issue with this node, is there anything on my end I should watch for, or is this purely something you'd need to resolve infrastructure side? Happy to provide more logs if useful. Thanks for looking into it!
