No Discord Bots in the Verified Bot Category? | Cloudflare Developers | Page 1

I have created custom rules to properly deflect attacks. However, I make an exception and allow the Verified Bot Category to pass. However, it seems that Discord bots are not included in the Verified Bot Category, so they get caught in later custom rules. ``` (cf.verified_bot_category ne "") ``` Skipping for this condition. I would like to use Cloudflare's managed Verified Bot Category, but will Discord Bots be added to the Verified Bot Category? This is strange because when I look at the Bots Directory, it shows as Verified. https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots/directory/discord-bot

According to the documentation, the Verified Bot Category is available on all plans, and you can segment your verified bot traffic by its type and purpose by adding the Verified Bot Categories field cf.verified_bot_category as a filter criteria in WAF Custom rules, Advanced Rate Limiting, and Late Transform rules.

However, it's also mentioned that Cloudflare reserves the right to re-assign verified bot categories if the bot's public documentation and observed behavior differ from the category listed in the bot submission form.

Regarding Discord bots, it's not explicitly stated in the provided documentation that they are included in the Verified Bot Category. However, as you mentioned, the Bots Directory shows Discord Bot as Verified.

To confirm whether Discord bots will be added to the Verified Bot Category, I would recommend checking the Cloudflare documentation for updates or reaching out to Cloudflare support for further clarification.
