[lyric gate]

having another issue though

[little badger]

wat is it

[lyric gate]

The button on my embed says "interaction failed" after like 10 minutes

how do i make it so the button works forever

[winter crest]

You have to set a timeout timer
I think timeout = 99999999 might work

[lyric gate]

yeah im 100% not sure how to do that

I dont know where i would add that in the code

lol

Sum like this works for me

import discord
from discord.ui import View, Button

class MyView(View):
    def __init__(self, *, timeout=180):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
        self.add_item(Button(label="Click Me"))

    async def on_timeout(self):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await self.message.edit(view=self)

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if interaction.user.id != self.user_id:
            await interaction.response.send_message("This isn't your button!", ephemeral=True)
            return False
        return True
    
    async def start(self, ctx):
      self.message = await ctx.send("This is my view!", view=self)
      self.user_id = ctx.author.id

[lyric gate]

view = discord.ui.View()
select = discord.ui.Select(
placeholder="Make a selection",
options=[
discord.SelectOption(label="BTC", emoji=":bitcoin:"),
discord.SelectOption(label="ETH", emoji=":ethereum:"),
discord.SelectOption(label="LTC", emoji=":litecoin:"),
discord.SelectOption(label="SOL", emoji=":solana:"),
],
custom_id=f"crypto_select_{ctx.author.id}_{int(time.time())}"

@winter crest

where do i add the timeout to infinite?
