Add this listener into bot.js for more detailed error:

Client.on("error", (error) => console.error(error));

Hey @BroskiFoolishBot, welcome to the Glitch Forums!

That error message tells me that you’ve probably got two things trying to listen to the open local port. One one listener can listen to a specific port, so when the second one tries to listen you’ll see an error like this.

If you can provide your project name we can give more specific guidance.
