it all depends on the network connection, so, how are you hosting the bot ?

the connection matter, if you have a bad wifi and you host your bot on a computer on that wifi => bad connection, even for bots
get an ethernet cable, or get a proper VPS

the VPS is much preferred anyway

Need to run your bot 24/7? Get a cheap VPS.

Self-hosting: Free hosting: Kinda free:
Any computer. No. Not even heroku. GCP, AWS have one year free micros.
Cheaper:
https://www.racknerd.com/ US $1 VPS (must pay anually, good VPS for its price)
https://www.arubacloud.com/ EU/US (good servers based on VMware)

if you dont have enough money for a vps (i get that, i feel you) you can work with what you have currently, but getting IP bans or connection issues will be normal
i would recommend getting a raspbery pi or similar and self-hosting if you can (electricity is usually cheaper depending on where you live) or the cheap vps might work
