❔ Ratelimit

Hello, i am currently trying to program a discord bot. Ive created a method to track how many players are online on a minecraft server using MinecraftPinger API and then editing a voice channel to the number of players that are online. I have tried it with several diffrent delays, but none worked. Any help is appreciated!

public static class OnlinePlayersVC
{
    public static async Task StartOnlinePlayersTracker(DiscordClient client)
    {
        DiscordChannel voiceChannel = await client.GetChannelAsync(MinecraftSettings.PlayerCountVC);
        MinecraftPinger server = new("88.99.216.40", 25574);

        while (true)
        {
            var status = await server.PingAsync();
            await voiceChannel.ModifyAsync(x => x.Name = "Online players: " + status.Players.Online.ToString());
            await Task.Delay(10000);
        }
    }
}

public static class OnlinePlayersVC
{
    public static async Task StartOnlinePlayersTracker(DiscordClient client)
    {
        DiscordChannel voiceChannel = await client.GetChannelAsync(MinecraftSettings.PlayerCountVC);
        MinecraftPinger server = new("88.99.216.40", 25574);

        while (true)
        {
            var status = await server.PingAsync();
            await voiceChannel.ModifyAsync(x => x.Name = "Online players: " + status.Players.Online.ToString());
            await Task.Delay(10000);
        }
    }
}

What didn't work exactly?

Everything works, the VC gets edited and it tracks the right amount of players - its just that i get follwoing error message:

[Error] Ratelimit hit, requeueing request to https://discord.com/api/v10/channels*************

[Error] Ratelimit hit, requeueing request to https://discord.com/api/v10/channels*************

I see - That means that you end up sending too many requests to the discord API apparently Is there a public documentation how many it can take?

I found something here: "you can edit a channel by a bot every 5th minute" What delays did you try already?

I checked the Discord.Net issues because I was curious if the response objects of the library might contain ratelimit information But I found this instead
