Question about containers
I have a game bot that uses a large amount of interaction.update() calls to update embed content. Would it be more resource-intensive for the bot to use Containers, or would the performance be similar?

you shouldn't update messages so often that container building performance becomes a concern
that'd get you ratelimited really quick
even with 100 times a second, the performance of building any object should be negligible
I don't currently get rate limited with interaction.update(), but I'm worried that using Containers might make the bot feel "heavier" for users (in terms of Discord client performance/rendering) or making the bot slower somehow
it certainly won't make the bot slower, and the discord client should be optimized enough to handle that
you'd probably need to create several tens of thousands per second (and it's not possible to do message updates that often) for that logic to start to become noticeable in terms of performance
mostly because of the validations
and even then you can not use the builders so you skip the validations and you're back to square one
