  3. Read the creation date and time, the age, and the worker, process and sequence numbers stored inside the ID.

Common questions

What is a Discord snowflake ID?
It is the unique number Discord gives every user, server, channel, role and message. The number contains the moment it was created, counted in milliseconds from the first second of 2015, plus a few bits that keep IDs made at the same instant apart.
How do I find out when a Discord account was created?
Copy the user’s ID and paste it here. The date inside the ID is when the account was made, to the millisecond.
Does decoding an ID reveal anything private?
No. An ID only holds its creation time and internal counters. Decoding happens in your browser and nothing is sent to Discord or to us.
