Hi, the time value in awaitMessageComponent is optional, but I cannot find any indication of what the default value is ? Thanks

There isn't one, it's a required option

afaik its only required in modal collectors. this one just runs until the process exits

It's at least typed as non nullable

# thorny reef Nice, thanks !

But if you are looking for something more persistent, you should really consider just listening to the interactionCreate event
All collectors are designed to be temporary

Yeah but that's more complicated to code

#

I mean no I don't want it to be persistent, I just want the user to be able to take their time, so removing expiration works for me.

Maybe it's just personal preference but something still irks me about an indefinitely hanging promise that I'd still personally use the event based collector 😅

yeah I'd say it would even classify as a memory leak

#

one user could even intentionally create a bunch of unresolved promises if they manage to know you're waiting without a timeout
