Sorry, but it won’t. That was why Glitch was down a lot because everyone used UptimeRobot to keep their apps awake. Therefore, Glitch has made the ban permanent.
How do I prevent my project from sleeping? It always sleeps when I close the tab.
You can no longer use pinging apps like UptimeRobot.
These are banned because everyone used pinging apps to keep apps awake, which was using a lot of resources, and if Glitch is to stay free to use, they have to limit resources used.
What can I do to solve this problem/issue?
You have three options:
You can buy Glitch Premium so that you can boost your projects and keep your Discord bots 24/7 with Always On and no rate-limits
You can switch to another host (like Heroku, Vercel, Repl.it or a VPS like DigitalOcean) although none of them are as good as hosting on Glitch
You could self-host on your own computer/laptop although a Raspberry Pi with good cooling (experience from a guy who ran a pi for a week, I do not want someone’s house to be set on fire) would be much better for self-hosting or you can use android (see this post).
Tbh, I don’t think there is a point in that last sentence - yes, it’s kind of correct, but it just seems a bit harsh as Glitch has done videos showing how to make discord bots and such. I’m gonna remove that.
I wish they made this more obvious rather than PERMA banning any bot that uses it. I had Glitch Premium which kept my project alive and I STILL got a ban.
Wait, what? That shouldn’t happen because you are allowed to host Discord bots 24/7 with Glitch Premium. By ban, do you mean your project was suspended or was your bot banned by Discord?
@Starga123, if your project got suspended it can be because of various other reasons and not just pinging. Glitch Support usually replies to their emails during their regular business hours of Mon-Fri 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. EST. Btw, do you have a package called keepalive in your package.json by any chance?
Yes which is what I’ve read to be the reason. But glitch should not just suspend a project to then not help?
I’m fully aware of the hours, but it’s been 3 days now since my message on Facebook and Email with no response.
