Removing chosen option from a string select menu

[chilly ember]

-# this might be a very simple answer, just cant find a solution to it
hence the title, is it possible to remove all options chosen by the user? i have tried deferUpdate as it works with buttons and menus to remove the "loading" state.

one solution is editing the original message but with multiple people using this at a possible short timeframe then ratelimits will be hit, which noone wants.

The only way to change the options is to edit the component, yes

each interaction has its own ratelimits, so you won't get any errors for that

you could implement some debouncing if you don't want too many requests though

but if each interaction requires different logic that may not be possible

i know that bots like sapphire immediately get rid of the selection without editing the message, just wondering how thats actually done

[dapper solar]

ahh no, it would have to be an edit

or update

[chilly ember]

worked it out using this instead, least for now

just to double check as the documentation isnt rlly clear.

the ratelimit of 50/s is that per endpoint or globally?

[covert wharf]

Ratelimits are dynamically assigned by the API based on current load and may change at any point.

• The scale from okay to API-spam is sliding and depends heavily on the action you are taking
• Rainbow roles, clock and counter channels, and DM'ing advertisements to all members are all examples of things that are not okay

[tall trail]

huh it doesn't include that

well there's a global one and per endpoint

the one you're saying is the global one
