St Augustine.
He then expounds what may be understood by the binding and chaining of the devil for a thousand years; (Cap. vii. & viii, p. 581) that the thousand years, meaning a long time, may signify all the time from Christ’s first coming[4] to his second at the end of the world, and to the last short persecution under antichrist. The devil is said to be bound, that is, his power much lessened and restrained, in comparison of the great and extensive power he had over all nations before Christ’s incarnation; not but that he still tempts many,[5] and raiseth persecutions, which always turn to their greater good; and that towards the end of the world he shall be let loose, as it were, for a short time, and permitted with his infernal spirits to exercise his malice against mankind, to try the patience of the elect, and to shew the power of God’s grace, by which his faithful servants shall triumph over the devil. N.B. What S. Augustine adds divers times in these chapters: “Let no one,” says he, “imagine[6] that even during that short time, there shall be no Church of Christ on the earth: God forbid: even when the devil shall be let loose, he shall not be able to seduce the Church.”

Whether Satan is loose or not, he is powerless against the faithful who love God.

You’re referring to a Period of Peace that occurs between the Minor Chastisement and the Major Chastisement (Reign of the Antichrist).
To answer your question, no, he isn’t chained. Him and his feculent ilk are currently, “Prowling throughout the world and seeking the ruin of souls”.

The devil is the lord of this world. (2 Cor. 4:4)

This is what the Book of Revelation says, chapter 20, which says that only then will Satan be bound and thrown into hell:
Chapter 20 1.“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.”
The Book of Revelation then says Satan will be released for a little while, then thrown into hell forever (Rev 20:10)–but this is outside the bounds of the question asked in the opening post.
