Editing a message gets slower with time

Hello, i'm currently making a discord bot. Basically, all the bot needs to do is to edit a message every 1.1 second (to not get rate limited ). The problem with that is : The first hour, the requests my bot's sending to discord takes approximately 200 ms but past this first hour or so the requests gets slower (between 5 and 6 seconds)

you are getting rate limited, i dont know from where did you get that editing messages with 1.1 seconds of delay will help you avoid rate limits

Nooxico•9mo ago

do you have a detailed explanation of what the rate limit is?? i can't find it From what i understand, the bot can send 5 request every 5 seconds

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

rate limits are not public information and they are also dynamic

d.js docs•9mo ago

Ratelimits are dynamically assigned by the API based on current load and may change at any point. - The scale from okay to API-spam is sliding and depends heavily on the action you are taking - Rainbow roles, clock and counter channels, and DM'ing advertisements to all members are all examples of things that are not okay

I've got logs, and there's not any warnings about rate limit

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

where do you have logs try this

d.js docs•9mo ago

Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

- Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client - If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | paste.gg | sourceb.in | hastebin

whenever your bot slows down editing messages check the console and see what it shows

Nooxico•9mo ago

that's what i do to get logs :

client.rest.on("rateLimited", (r) => {
    console.log(r)
})

client.rest.on("rateLimited", (r) => {
    console.log(r)
})

im gonna try I used to have a "rate limited" warn. But with the 1.1 second delay i don't have it anymore

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

the 5 - 6 second delay you describe does sound like a ratelimit on the channel messages endpoint

Nooxico•9mo ago

it does, but the warn doesn't show up in my logs that's my problem, i can't fix the problem if i don't know what it is xD Do you know where i can find rate limit for each endpoint?

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

i just told you that ratelimits are not public information

Nooxico•9mo ago

ok gotchu sorry

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

debug it with the thing i suggested and see if that shows something

Nooxico•9mo ago

forgot that u said that

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

if it doesnt then its gonna be tricky i doubt is a library issue though but we will see

treble/luna•9mo ago

its ratelimit

here are my logs after an hour so everything works perfectly fine for 1 hour, but past that, it takes longer to send a request was ratelimit in discord js 13 but now it's ratelimited

ShompiFlen•9mo ago

this doesnt look like the logs from debug or warn these are your logs, this doesnt help hmm... it is weird though i do see the heartbeat in your logs so uh i guess it is logging debug events, weird that the ratelimit is not showing there... unless its not supposed to, im not entirely sure on this one :/
