Discord Bot (JDA) Rate Limit

I read somewhere that you can only modify 2 channels every 10 minuntes, but is this also the case with the messages that you send or can you only perform an operation like change / send / create twice every 10 min?

And what's the difference between .queue(); .complete(); and .submit();

Thanks in advance: D

Rate-limits usually refer to changing the name/topic of a channel, or creating/deleting channels. But limits can be also applied for adding reactions or even sending messages, to prevent abuse/spam (you can also notice if you spam in your own discord server). From the Discord documentation: "Routes for controlling emojis do not follow the normal rate limit conventions. These routes are specifically limited on a per-guild basis to prevent abuse. This means that the quota returned by our APIs may be inaccurate, and you may encounter 429s."

If you are creating a bot that adds emotes on a regular basis, you might want to set a small timeout between such actions, otherwise the bot will get rate limited and will only resume after a quite long period of time.

To solve this, I added a boolean that only gets reset after the queue action of adding the last emoji is complete. It's a hacky solve, but does the job.

Rate limits change depending on the action you're performing. Rate Limits

For .queue(), .complete(), .submit() view the documentation here (Point #7).
