Description

Hi there. I've been using this mod and it's pretty good, however I got a little issue regarding the "channelTopicUpdateInterval" field.
I'm guessing it controls the time it takes to update the channel topic on the Discord.
I wanted to make it update every minute, but I don't know what value to insert in the field. Right now I set it to "channelTopicUpdateInterval": 60000, but the result are pretty funky. I don't know what to say so I hope these screenshots can speak for themselves.

I wanted to know what the number I put on the field is and what can I do to update everything correctly every minute.
Thank you for you time.

I wanted to make it update every minute

You cannot do that. Discord has a strict rate limit on channel topic updates, about 1-2 updates every 10 minutes. However, there are no such restrictions on activities. That's why intervals are used instead of instant updates.

In milliseconds, default's 600,000 milliseconds = 10 minutes

Oh I see. Is that maybe the reason it is not updating anymore?

Check the server log/console

I just checked and saw a [JDA RateLimit-Elastic-Worker 3/WARN] appearing every 10 minutes.

[JDA RateLimit-Elastic-Worker 3/WARN]: Encountered 429 on route PATCH/channels/{channel_id} with bucket 6e836da6cef38ba2f3dfd8568a4e9631:channel_id=1218668131564654712 Retry-After: 600000 ms Scope: shared

Yep. This is the rate limit message. So I suggest you set it back to 10 minutes, which is a safer threshold (allowing one server restart within the interval)

Alrighty then. Thanks for the clarification. 👍
