Discord bans me for using their official client

The author seems to have used the auth from the official client for some application. Discord indiscriminately bans due to API abuse.

What? The author used the QR scan feature from the official Discord mobile app to try to log in on the desktop client.

> After closing maybe around seven of them, Discord booted me back to the login screen.

This seems to have occurred after the account was banned.

The Discord client will do a full reload if it starts getting bad status codes from the API, eg. 403 or 401 (due to a password reset or account termination), so that's probably what happened here.

How did you come to that conclusion from the OP? I've read and re-read it. That's a good guess, but nothing indicates the scenario you mentioned.
