Gateway Rate Limits
Similar to the HTTP API, Discord has a Gateway rate limit (https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#rate-limiting), with a maximum of 120 commands per 60 seconds. Discord.js handles rate limits for HTTP requests, does it handle Gateway rate limits as well, or must this be handled manually?

It was in relation to request guild members, in the context of imagining a lazy-loading system to lower memory usage. I’m trying to avoid downloading the entire member list of every server to minimize memory usage, and this has been successful so far. There are some instances where I need to check data for multiple guild members, in bulk, in multiple servers, so without having the entire member list downloaded that would mean a lot of request guild members calls. I’m still on the fence about if this is a good idea or not, or if it would be better to incur the higher memory usage of downloading the entire member list instead
