Error [GUILD_MEMBERS_TIMEOUT] Members didn't arrive in time.

Hi, I'm getting this err when bot starts & it does not execute any event (including ready event) when this err arrives. It's not happening all the time.. err:

you are missing the GUILD_MEMBERS intent

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

@thehairy Hi, sorry for late reply I have these intents:

 intents: [
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS,
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_EMOJIS_AND_STICKERS
    ],

 intents: [
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS,
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
        Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_EMOJIS_AND_STICKERS
    ],

and weird part is that it's not happening every time that error ^

This error can be thrown if the guild you are trying to fetch is too big And you have a slow connection https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/errors.html#members-didn-t-arrive-in-time

MoonlightCapital•3y ago

same error here, hmm i think it may be related to connection or something, but the discord status page doesn't say anything

api issue ig

조아오•3y ago

Guild.fetch() when fetching all members use the WS not the Api, it's a wierd behavior it not responding, since if the gateway isn't working I don't think only will fail the fetch but the whole connection instead

MoonlightCapital•3y ago

I know, my bot seems to connect for a while (even sets playing status) but then goes offline with that error This started happening after a reboot because it wouldn't detect member joins/leaves

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

yes it is I saw this error multiple times when the bot starts and only when the bot starts... but not every time I did not completely understand this line but I think when bot goes online & fetches guilds & members to set cache it fails connection and ready event is not being called in these cases Bot's activity status is not updated (that is being set in ready event)

Do you, in anyway, fetch the members manually? Bc this is the only way this error is throw

https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/search?q=GuildMembersTimeout

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

yes, I do I fetch guild member using id stored in db for vote reminder when the bot starts.. Also I fetch at some other places but I don't think they're relevant here

조아오•3y ago

I fetch guild member using id stored in db for vote reminder when the bot starts.

Can you show the code?

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

조아오•3y ago

Oh, your id My bad I'm talking about <Guild>.members.fetch() with no options Or just the time option

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

no i don't fetch guild anywhere, I read it from cache, as seen in above screenshot ^

조아오•3y ago

Sorry See the edit lol

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

as far as I can remember I don't, lemme verify yes I do

I fetch all members when bot joins a server to see active boosters thanks 😄

조아오•3y ago

Your bot might have been added to a fairly large server Like 100k members or more Thats what probably causing the issue Try setting the time option to smt bigger The default iirc is two minutes (in ms) Yeah 120e3 ms

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

okay, thanks for the help, I'll try this but I'm still confused that somehow bot does not responds to and msg or updates activity status when I restart it (rare but happens some times) I thought it was due to this err ^ but I guess these things are not related?

조아오•3y ago

Also you can't fetch more than one guild member at the time If you seen fit You can add some type of async queue and error handler You can use the @sapphire/async-queue for this

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

Thanks a lot, I'll run async process for this.. Also, If I decide to run this async process every day for all guilds, do you think it should be an issue? thinKappa

조아오•3y ago

There is a large_guild threshold on discord, on those giant guilds discord only sends online members on the ready event That might be the issue, uncached members I don't think you should fetch every member of all your guilds your bot is in everyday Try to restart as few as possible

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

how will un-cached members be an issue here?

조아오•3y ago

The guild member update event will send an partial member on the first argument and a full member on the second And you cant fetch this old member

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

yes, that's what I thought but bot misses role remove events of un-cached members (partial event) and not able to detect if someone removed boost or it was some normal role removed.. I was planning to run a cron but this sounded bad in my head.. I'll try to come up with something else but I think issue occurs before ready event.. guild member update event is irrelevant in this case right?

조아오•3y ago

Roles are always cached But you use roles to detect bosts? You can use the member properties They are more reliable

DiabolusGXOP•3y ago

to detect boost remove event member who removed boost is not always cached
