button cooldown

how would i make a cooldown on a button? I found something on google, but it looks like it's a cooldown for all buttons, i just want a cooldown for a specific button (it should not be a global cooldown, but just a cooldown per user)

found this

// At the top of your file
const buttonCooldown = new Set()

client.on("interactionCreate", (ctx) => {
  if(!ctx.isButton()) return;
  if(buttonCooldown.has(ctx.user.id)) {
    // user is on cooldown, do whatever you want
  }
  buttonCooldown.add(ctx.user.id)
  setTimeout(() => buttonCooldown.delete(ctx.user.id), 10_000) // replace 10_000 with cooldown time
  // other logic here
})

i'd use a map/collection instead of a set so you can also store the button custom id (or concatenate them into a string and put them in the set)
