Lightening
A static discharge is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electric potential, whereas an electric current is a continuous flow of electric charge in a closed circuit. Static discharge occurs due to a build-up of static electricity, while electric current flows due to an applied voltage.
Lightning is an example of an electrical discharge, not an electric field. It occurs when an electric field builds up in the atmosphere due to positive and negative charges separating, and then discharges as a bolt of electricity.

A lightening bolt.
An electric discharge is a sudden flow of electricity between two charged points, often resulting in a spark or lightning. An electric current is a continuous flow of electric charge along a conductor, such as a wire. While both involve the movement of electricity, an electric discharge is typically a short-lived event, whereas an electric current is sustained over time.
static discharge lasts only for a fraction of a second
Where are my discharge papers? The electric discharge killed him.
A static discharge is a sudden, brief flow of electricity between two objects with different electrical charges, often caused by friction or contact. It differs from an electric current, which is a continuous flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Electric Discharge
Static electricity is buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object. When the charge accumulates to a certain level, it can form an electric discharge, which is a sudden flow of electric current between two charged objects. This discharge results in the release of stored electrical energy in the form of heat, light, and sound.
I believe this answer that each of these two are powered by different things.
