failed: timeout can mean two totally different things in Discord, so quick check:

  1. If you see it on your own message bubble (red text like “Failed: timeout”)
    That’s Discord client-side saying the message didn’t get delivered/acked in time (network hiccup / Discord outage / mobile backgrounding). OpenClaw can’t “clean” that up. The only fixes are:
  • hit Retry (if offered), or
  • delete the failed message, or
  • reconnect (toggle airplane mode / restart Discord), then resend.
  1. If it’s a message posted by the OpenClaw bot (or bot UI like approvals) that later shows timeout/failure text
    That’s usually “internal/system-ish” output. In that case try in the same chat:

If you paste a screenshot of where the failed: timeout text appears (and whether it was after an exec approval / button prompt), I can tell you which case it is and the exact config knob (there is one for cleaning up exec-approval messages).
