- apex / user
- Analysis Summary
- This experiment lets Discord fetch warning state for accounts that need a parent connection and show it through a modal or banner.
- Why It Matters
- This looks like a more proactive warning flow for teen accounts that may need a parent connection to keep full access.
- Users may see clearer prompts after login or when returning to the app.
- Detailed Description
- In the default state, the new warning fetch path is off.
- When enabled, Discord requests the parental-consent warning state after connection open, when the window regains focus, and when the app becomes visible again.
- The response can include grace-period state, days remaining, and allowed warning surfaces; if the modal surface is allowed and the account is not already linked to an active parent, Discord can show a once-per-day warning modal.
- The same flow also checks banner eligibility.
- The full final copy is not completely visible from this string window, but the same period changed Family Center parent-linking copy to explain that connecting a parent preserves full Discord access.
