How to fix Error Code 30008 in Diablo 4

Next, try to log in to your character a few times. Since it is a login timeout request error, the issue could be cleared up between login attempts. If this does not work, you might want to reverify your game files, which can be done through the Battle.net launcher. 

Unfortunately, if this issue persists after this fix attempt all that is left to do is contact Blizzard customer support directly. Likely, this is just an issue with Blizzard’s servers that you will need to wait out.
