In this paper, we investigate discrete regularity estimates for a broad class of temporal numerical schemes for parabolic stochastic evolution equations. We provide a characterization of discrete stochastic maximal \(\ell ^p\) -regularity in terms of its continuous counterpart, thereby establishing a unified framework that yields numerous new discrete regularity results. Moreover, as a consequence of the continuous-time theory, we establish several important properties of discrete stochastic maximal regularity such as extrapolation in the exponent p and with respect to a power weight. Furthermore, employing the \(H^\infty \) -functional calculus, we derive a powerful discrete maximal estimate in the trace space norm \(D_A(1-\frac{1}{p},p)\) for \(p \in [2,\infty )\) .
