Discord profile badges

A WebModTools field guide to Discord profile flair - what it means, whether you can still earn it, and which API flag bit powers it when one exists.

Independent WebModTools reference - not affiliated with Discord Inc., Mojang, Rockstar, or ZAP-Hosting beyond disclosed affiliate links. Facts change; verify on official docs when it matters.

Paste a user ID into User & Guild Lookup to decode live public_flags (legacy Staff / Partner / HypeSquad / Bug Hunter / Early Supporter / Active Developer, and a few bot flags). Nitro, Boost, Quest, Orbs, Legacy Username, Last Meadow, Account Age, Streaming, Game Time, and Game Variety are profile cosmetics - Discord’s bot API does not expose them.

General / user badges

  • Discord Staff

    Invite / employee only

    flag 1 (1≪0)

    Employees of Discord - Discord’s “Mythic” rarity tier on Profile Badges 101. Staff can hide the badge on their profile.

  • Partnered Server Owner

    Legacy / closed

    flag 2 (1≪1)

    Awarded when you owned a server accepted into Discord's Partner Program. New partner applications are not open the way they used to be - treat this as legacy for most people.

  • HypeSquad Events

    Legacy / closed

    flag 4 (1≪2)

    Represented Discord at events under the old HypeSquad Events program. Closed; not expected to return.

  • Bug Hunter (standard)

    Invite / employee only

    flag 8 (1≪3)

    Reach the Bug Hunter tier in Discord's Testers program. Invitation-only for most people today.

  • HypeSquad Bravery

    Legacy / closed

    flag 64 (1≪6)

    Was earned via Discord’s HypeSquad house quiz (Bravery). The quiz is closed; existing badges stay on profiles.

  • HypeSquad Brilliance

    Legacy / closed

    flag 128 (1≪7)

    Was earned via Discord’s HypeSquad house quiz (Brilliance). The quiz is closed; existing badges stay on profiles.

  • HypeSquad Balance

    Legacy / closed

    flag 256 (1≪8)

    Was earned via Discord’s HypeSquad house quiz (Balance). The quiz is closed; existing badges stay on profiles.

  • Early Supporter

    Legacy / closed

    flag 512 (1≪9)

    Had a successful Nitro-related purchase before Discord's early-supporter cutoff (Oct 2018). Locked forever after that window.

  • Bug Hunter (gold)

    Invite / employee only

    flag 16384 (1≪14)

    Higher Testers tier (“Bug Scholar” era naming). Still gated behind the Testers program.

  • Early Verified Bot Developer

    Legacy / closed

    flag 131072 (1≪17)

    Owned a verified bot before Discord renamed the program (Aug 2020). New verified apps don't get this legacy flair.

  • Moderator Programs Alumni

    Legacy / closed

    flag 262144 (1≪18)

    Came from Discord's certified / alumni moderator track. Not obtainable after late 2022 when that track wound down.

  • Active Developer

    Legacy / closed

    flag 4194304 (1≪22)

    Was earned by running a global application command, then claiming the badge. Discord decommissioned the program and removed the badge from profiles (late 2025).

  • Nitro

    Obtainable

    Active Discord Nitro, Nitro Classic, or Nitro Basic subscription. Hovering shows how long you’ve been subscribed. Tenure art upgrades over time (see Nitro months below).

  • Server Booster

    Obtainable

    Actively boost at least one server. Hover shows your longest continuous boost streak. Stopping all boosts resets the streak to level 1 - see boost milestones below.

  • Completed a Quest

    Obtainable

    Finish a Quest from Discord’s Quests discovery / inventory UI when Quests are available in your region. Discord currently can’t remove this badge once earned.

  • Orbs

    Obtainable

    Purchase the Orbs profile badge from the Orbs shop (earned via Quests / Orbs rewards). Once bought, Discord says it can’t be removed.

  • Legacy Username

    Obtainable

    Shown when you kept your old username#discriminator after Discord’s username migration. Can be hidden under User Settings → Profiles (or Edit Profile on mobile).

  • Last Meadow Online

    Legacy / closed

    April Fools 2026 mini-game (1–7 Apr 2026). Levelling up in Last Meadow Online unlocked the badge; hover shows your highest level. Event ended - no longer obtainable.

  • Account Age

    Obtainable

    Unlocks at 1 year on Discord and levels up with account age (through 10+ years). Once a level unlocks you keep it. Tracked in the desktop Badge Directory. Not exposed via bot public_flags.

  • Streaming

    Obtainable

    Desktop screen-share time with at least one other person in the call (counts from Jan 1, 2024). Unlocks ~1 hour; levels through 5,000+ hours. Needs “Use data to personalize my Discord experience”. Not in public_flags.

  • Game Time

    Obtainable

    Total hours in games Discord’s desktop app can detect (from Dec 8, 2025). Unlocks ~1 hour; levels through 5,000+. Console play doesn’t count. Needs personalization data on. Not in public_flags.

  • Game Variety

    Obtainable

    How many different detectable desktop games you’ve played (unlocks at 2; levels toward 100+). Platforms like Roblox/Fortnite often count as one game. Console doesn’t count. Not in public_flags.

App / bot flair

  • Supports Commands

    Obtainable

    flag 8388608 (1≪23)

    App uses application commands (slash / context menus). Discord surfaces this on the app's profile.

  • Uses AutoMod

    Obtainable

    flag 16777216 (1≪24)

    Associated with servers / apps that hit Discord's AutoMod usage threshold (historically tied to many active rules). Exact threshold is Discord's call.

Notes

  • Nitro month badges and server-boost ladders are tracked separately - see Nitro & boosts.
  • Clan / guild-tag icons are server-owned cosmetics (dozens of owner-picked glyphs). They are not classic public_flags profile badges.
  • Account Age / Streaming / Game Time / Game Variety level up in Discord’s Badge Directory (desktop). They never appear in public_flags, so lookup will not list them even when the profile shows them.
  • Discord renames and retires flair. If a row fights the client, trust the client.
