Is there any way to gracefully stop the bot? I want it to appear as offline as soon as it stops.

client.user!.setPresence({
  status: "invisible"
});
await client.destroy();
```doesn't seem to work…
Also, what's the reason that `setPresence` unlike basically any other similar method isn't async?

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.

I think you need to await the setPresence since destroying the client might stop your request from actually firing

#

setPresence does not return a Promise, it returns the presence synchronically, looking at the type definitions…

#

#

(discord.js/typings/index.d.ts)

#

I tried to await another API thing before destroying the client (force fetching the client user, to be exact), but the bot still didn't immediately switch to offline after stopping it

I uses the Ws, thats why it's sync

#

Maybe add an 1-2s cooldown before destroying? idk

Ws? As in websockets?

#

It calls the websocket to the change, not a rest request and when you destroy the client you also destroy the Ws

#

That might be the race condition

There's another weird thing: editing a message in the exit handler takes around 15 seconds…

#

    let exitHandled = false;
    async function exitHandler() {
        try {
            if (exitHandled) return;
            exitHandled = true;
            console.log("Handling exit…");
            disableAllButtons = true;
            console.debug("Refreshing volume message…");
            await refresh();
            console.debug("Setting offline presence…");
            client.user!.setPresence({
                status: "invisible"
            });
            await Utils.delay(1000);
            console.debug("Destroying the client…");
            await client.destroy();
            console.log("Handled.");
        } catch(e) {
            console.error(e);
        } finally {
            process.exit(0);
        }
    }
```this is the handler
