I made a bot that replies to a user's message but I want to limit it so that the bot only responds every 30 seconds and ignores the messages within that time. Do I use SetInterval?
Code:
setTimeout(function() {
main();
}, 30000);
function main(){
***command here***
}
This isn't working as well.

Yes, you should use setInterval()
for that.
However, I suggest using client.setInterval()
and client.setTimeout()
instead of just setInterval()
and setTimeout()
because according to the docs:
Sets an interval that will be automatically cancelled if the client is destroyed.
Which means that if you restart or stop your bot those timers would be cleared.
client.setInterval(function() {
main();
}, 30000);
