If you’ve been playing Valorant for the past few days, chances are you have run into the Chat Service Unavailable error, keeping you away from sending text messages in your team as well as all chat.
This error has been plaguing Riot’s first-person shooter for quite some time, with no legitimate fixes whatsoever. Chat service is essential in a team game.
During intense clutch situations proving information through the chat preferred over convoluting the voice coms which might mask enemy footsteps. Even for players without a proper mic, a chatbox is the only way to rally information over to their teammates.

As mentioned earlier, there is no definitive fix to this problem, however, one might try to restart and login to their game client, and as a last measure, reinstall the game. These are the only known fixes that the community has come up with to relieve the players of this error.
These methods are likely to fix your problem. If not, then the only solution is to wait for Riot’s next update to address this bug. With the uproar in the community regarding this error, Riot is more than likely to be already working on a fix, which they might drop sooner rather than later.
