The Discord Active Developer badge is now effectively rare because Discord says it was decommissioned and is no longer available to earn, and any previously displayed badges were removed from profiles. In other words, it used to be obtainable, but as of the current official help page, you canā€™t get a new one anymore.

What that means

  • If you still see someone with one, itā€™s usually an older account or an outdated display, not a badge most users can still earn.
  • Among Discord badges, it falls into the ā€œlegacy / no longer obtainableā€ category rather than the common badges like Nitro or Server Booster.
  • So in practical terms, itā€™s very rare today because the supply is frozen and the badge is no longer being issued.

Quick scoop

The badge isnā€™t just rare ā€” itā€™s discontinued, which makes it much rarer than badges that are still actively earnable.

Bottom line

If by ā€œdev badgeā€ you mean the Active Developer badge , the answer is: itā€™s extremely rare now because Discord removed the ability to earn it.
