after this error the time is freezed and giveaway stopped, I always got this problem whenever I put long duration giveaway (24h, 10h) any idea to fix

FYI: I followed any tutorials to make giveaway bot

This giveaway system saves to a .JSON file and heroku doesn't support those files. Therefore every time the bot restarts in any way, that file gets erased completely. 2 solutions... 1. Switch it over to an online database or 2. Put your bot on a vps instead of junkify heroku

how to make giveaway saved to db and make it read, is it possible to use quick.db?

needhamgary commented 3 years ago

Yes but not on heroku... Quick.db still uses . JSON file

Any guide to change storage location? or maybe another hosting website

needhamgary commented 3 years ago

Set up mongodb
