I see that you’re just starting to write a bot. That presents an uncommon opportunity. I have a starter example here A new Discord bot starter, no pinging needed that stays online without wasting project hours when the bot has nothing to do.
The drawback though is that you don’t have discord.js caches populated, so you’d pretty much have to write a bot from scratch with that in mind. That’s not something most of the people complaining about this are in the position of doing. But because you’re starting out and haven’t gone crazy with using cached objects yet, I’m specially bringing this up here.
