Well there is another problem that is if you only use
if (message.author.id !== "1145030539074600970") return;
The bot runs smoothly and responds well...

Without knowing anything about your code or the host you run on this is gonna be hard to help with

• reset your webhook tokens, you leaked them
• having that hardcoded channelId in your bot.js used in ready event is an issue, because only one shard will have that channel, the other shards should not fetch that ever

[marsh cypress]

I have reset and changed to a new channel but the delay still seems the same.

• how many guilds is that bot in?
• what kind of delay/how long are we talking?
• can you uncomment the correct rateLimited listener on client.rest and remove the client.on one that doesn’t exist anymore? Does that log something?
• if not then add debug listener and show relevant output from around the time the delay happens
• where are you hosting that bot?

[marsh cypress]

Currently the bot is on server 2111

Calculating the current time, the delay is at least 4 minutes.

I have uncommented ``client.rest.on('rateLimited', console.log);``` but when I run the bot node or shard node, it doesn't notify anything!

I am hosting the bot at vps at https://dichvu.dailysieure.com/

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)

• 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

All of those are logs before your bot is even ready.

I tried to communicate with the bot 12 times during the delay, when I first ran the bot but it only reported the above!

There are a lot of sync file operations in your code that I saw. Those block the event loop until they finish. And what’s that voice logs, does your bot use voice connections too? They can be quite resource intensive
