Member boost counter and detecting "current active boost count" of a member
These days, boosting has become a crucial aspect on Discord. However, developers are not fully informed about the information regarding a member's boost count. The necessary information is not provided through the API.
When a guild member makes a new boost, I can detect it using the guildMemberUpdate event and retrieve the premiumSinceTimestamp information.
Similarly, I can also detect when a member no longer has any boosts through the guildMemberUpdate event.
However, if a member has made two boosts and then cancels one boost, I cannot detect this using the guildMemberUpdate event with the premiumSinceTimestamp. This is because the timestamp does not change as the member still has one boost remaining.
I am unable to determine the current active boost count of a member. This should also be added to the guildMemberUpdate event.
Taking this information, I intend to set up the following system:
In order to reward members during this critical time where boosting is significant, I need to obtain information about how many boosts they have made and if they have made two boosts, I should be able to determine the duration for which both boosts were active. Perhaps with the boost start and boost cancel events, I can obtain more detailed and real-time information.

Taking this information, I intend to set up the following system:I am calculating the number of days each member has been actively boosting my server, and based on that, I assign roles. Here are some examples:
- If a member has 1 boost and doesn't remove it for 1 week, the total boost duration would be 1 week.
- If a member has 2 boosts, doesn't remove them for 1 week, and then removes 1 boost after 1 week, and the remaining boost is removed after another week, the calculation would be:
2 boosts x 1 week = 2 weeks, and 1 boost x 1 week = 1 week (total of 3 weeks).
