My xbox account wont link to my discord account.

I have been using discord on my xbox one ever since it came out. just today it said i have to re-link my account. if I re-link it it still says it cant connect my account.

I have tried:

un linking and re linking

re-linking from all ends (discord app, xbox app and my xbox)

checking for updates on the xbox and apps.

deleting and re-installing the discord app.

performing a power cycle on my xbox

clearing data cache on the xbox and apps.

it always says I need to re-link my discord account no matter how many times I do it.

xbox support is of no help. they keep giving instructions to link my account even though i already know how and its not working.

edit: i have also tried re-starting my router and re-connecting my console to the xbox app. no luck.
