Im in the progress of creating a discord python bot, the goal is the have a bot where I can go in any server and run a !setup command and it will configure all the categories, channels, roles etc. Only problem is when I run the bot I keep hitting a specific terminal error.

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

2024-05-15 21:44:35 WARNING discord.http We are being rate limited. POST https://discord.com/api/v10/guilds/1239649086701965463/roles responded with 429. Retrying in 451.06 seconds.

I've noticed that the !delete command works well, however the error gets throw out when the !setup command is being run

I won't be surprised if the ratelimit for creating roles is just very low, in which case there's nothing you can do of it

brave grove
#

Do you know what the limit is? is it daily? hourly?

#

Another frustration I have is I cant tell if my bot is broken due to the limit or if the code is dodgy.

Im unable to troubleshoot it

Is ratelimit based on my bot or the server its in? if you were to run the code would it work?

There are global limits too but generally it's per-route, so in this case would probably be for that server only:

As an example, if you exceeded a rate limit when calling one endpoint /channels/1234, you could still call another similar endpoint like /channels/9876 without a problem.

I see, im going to test it on a new server ones second

quite lengthy wait times

#

creating a new test server did resolve this for me, no doubt it will be back

#

thanks
