Discord Server DM Bot

[Zoray]

I'm looking for a discord bot that will message all users in a server with a customizable message. I need this done in less than 2 days.

Easy to make but will get rate-limited extremely quick and also can just be generally annoying for users. Can't you just make a @here or @everyone in a channel?

A bot being rate limited? I don't think bots get rate limited when dming users. Only self bots get rate limited.

Everything gets rate-limited, users have the same rate-limits as bots.

Not true. Imagine a bot like Dyno. With Dyno you can set "message upon join" or "message upon ban". Dyno messages millions of users a day. Discord doesn't rate limit bots.

As someone who made a large bot, yes they do. Dyno and other bots have tons of webhooks they also use to extend these rate-limits (not possible in DMs).

Rate-limits are often per-channel or server, not just globally.

Here's a nice table for you:
REST:
POST Message | 5/5s | per-channel
DELETE Message | 5/1s | per-channel
PUT/DELETE Reaction | 1/0.25s | per-channel
PATCH Member | 10/10s | per-guild
PATCH Member Nick | 1/1s | per-guild
PATCH Username | 2/3600s | per-account
|All Requests| | 50/1s | per-account
WS:
Gateway Connect | 1/5s | per-account
Presence Update | 5/60s | per-session
|All Sent Messages| | 120/60s | per-session

Can't you make it so the bot dms a certain amount of people, stops for a bit until it's rate limit is over, and messages again?

WalshyDev ever heard of sharding?

Even with sharding a server has one shard only, meaning that the same limits apply.

They weren't talking about the server, they're talking about DMs.

Just reviewed the documentation, and it doesn't matter either way. DMs are on Shard #0, meaning that you can't shard DMs. I could be wrong in this, I haven't tried it, but yeah.
