How To Know if Slow Mode Is Turned On
You can disable the Slow Mode on Discord even when another user has turned it on if you have permission to do that. Before we discuss the methods of how to disable it, you should know how to tell if the feature is on or not?
Generally, you’ll see a notification and be restricted from sending a message on a Discord channel if the Slow Mode is turned on.

Similarly, you’ll see the same message and a timer on the Chatbox on mobile reminding you that the Discord Slow Mode is active.
