Rate Limiting System for Discord Messages #13

Open qStivi opened 1 month ago

qStivi commented 1 month ago

I propose implementing a responsive rate limiting system to manage Discord messages effectively, prioritizing responsiveness and reliability. This system will ensure that our bot remains highly responsive to user interactions while adhering to Discord's rate limits.

Features:

Rate Limit Tracking: Develop a mechanism to monitor the current rate limiting imposed by Discord's API in real-time. This includes continuously tracking the number of requests made within a specific time window and the remaining available requests.

Message Prioritization: Design a system to prioritize messages dynamically based on their importance and urgency. Messages requiring immediate attention, such as playback updates or critical notifications, will be prioritized to maintain responsiveness.

Dynamic Adjustment: Implement intelligent logic to dynamically adjust message sending based on the current rate limiting status. This may involve temporarily delaying non-essential messages or dynamically adjusting the sending frequency to optimize responsiveness without exceeding rate limits.

Rationale:

Discord's rate limits can impact the responsiveness and reliability of our bot, particularly during periods of high activity. By implementing a responsive rate limiting system, we can ensure that our bot remains highly responsive to user interactions while operating within the constraints of Discord's API.

Additional Information:

Insights or suggestions on optimizing responsiveness and reliability through rate limiting, as well as strategies for prioritizing messages effectively, would be invaluable for designing a robust solution.
