When you say you monitor it how does the memory consumption develop? And what data do you cache/use/fetch? And how many guilds is your bot in?

[vivid bane]

What intents does your bot use? Because 1k guilds with 450MiB RAM usage can come from cache if you for example cache all guild messages and/or members

[rain robin]

I fetch channel messages,members

[rain robin]

What do you mean by cache?
Because I dont store the messages or many members in a map(only owners so max 1k), And if I do its only ids not the object

[rain robin]

I was looking into cache customization. I'm wondering, if I create dynamic channels and then delete a channel at a certain point in time, will it also be removed from the cache? Or do I need to manually define that behavior?

[vivid bane]

Channels will be removed from cache if you delete them and have guilds intent

[rain robin]

Do you got any idea or suggestion how I can handle that?

Maybe I just need to increase the heap size?

[vivid bane]

If you need members and messages cached yes.

Because those probably make up most of your Ram usage

[vivid bane]

It‘s recommended to think about what intents and caching your bot actually needs and only enable those intents (and maybe limit the caches you don’t need) and increase the heap limit to allow for what you do need

[rain robin]

Alright thank you very much!
