How and when is considered API spam?
I see a lot of big bot doing big things like sending to a thousands of people a pm, and when I want do a thing like that I'm afraid to get my bot banned. I want to know when a bot can be banned or warned so I can avoid be afraid.

• What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.I doubt you've seen a bot send 1000 people a dm, especially if it's verified
API spam is simply when you spam the API though... it can't really be more clarified
Sending 1K people a dm is definitely API spam
Like the bots that trace back to their users when they can vote on the sites, what I saw is inside 630027 servers
So if my intentions are pure and not spam scam I have no reason to get in trouble?
but get handled by djs for youjust a note, this does not mean you should freely spam api, hoping djs will keep you safe A usual way I see api spam is when they make requests in loops
I'm asking because a customer asked me to write a command that warns attendees of an event 10 minutes before the event starts and I don't know if it can be considered spam
This should be a ping in a server
Not dms
That's what I told him but he wants to do it via pm
It's against tos
Ok thank you very much really for the clarifications <3
