Getting locked out while developing my bot #660

Closed ErraticFox closed 7 years ago

ErraticFox commented 7 years ago

Could nodemon be the cause of this? As I seem to already be locked out whilst only sending about 15 messages in the span of roughly 35 minutes. Though while developing my bot, I use nodemon which restarts my bot upon every save I do. This mean my bot has to reconnect to the API Server, so could this be causing me to be timed out if I save about every two - five minutes?

I keep getting the error Sorry, we were unable to connect to chat. Reconnecting in 2 seconds. I got this early last night, I didn't think much and play a video game. Though, not even an hour into working on my bot and it appears I'm locked out again.

Sounds like your bot is sending more messages than you think it is and you are hitting the message send limit.

You should install a message limited to prevent your bot sending too much.

You might be hitting a limit related to joins, which seems unlikely, but you probably shouldn't use nodemon to restart the bot EVERY save. Especially if you save as much as I do when writing stuff…

Restart when you have enough to test, not one line changes.
