Discord bot - Bot going offline

Glitch Help
1

My bot goes off automatically as soon as I leave glitch. I want to keep it online 24/7.Help

Can I make my project stay online?

You may have noticed that glitch app shuts off after about 5 minutes of not being open. You can solve this be pinging your bot with an external site. Services, such as Uptime Robot, cron-job.org, etc. can be utilized to achieve that. Note that your app will reboot after 12 hours but is barely noticable, unless you have a big startup time.

There’s something called Freshping, and I really recommend it. The minimum ping is one minute, so it stays online basically forever unless you edit it or have errors in your code.

Yeah, that’s the minimum. Projects with Uptime Robot sometimes go offline due to their API sometimes being slow. Freshping is sometimes slow, but with it’s 1-minute interval it can surely keep your project up rather than it going down for a few seconds.
