Steps I should take to avoid rate limits?
I haven't had any issues with rate limits, but I am just curious if discord.js handles rate limits for me or if I need to manually stagger requests?

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

- Issue solved? Press the button!discord.js queues requests so as not to exceed rate limits, on a single shard
However, constantly sitting maxed out against the rate limit can still get Discord's attention and generally suggests you're doing something with your bot that you shouldnt be
I have a question about a way I can more efficiently organize requests so I don't constantly keep the bot maxed in requests.
I want to build a system where users can interact with the bot in a private chat and their messages are sent to a public chat anonymously.
The challenge is I am planning to have this system going where there is +50 people engaging with this at the same time. I know that every time the bot sends a message I am making requests and I am worried that if the chat is very active I will quickly max out my requests.
Do you have suggestions on how to efficiently organize this so that it's scalable to even +200 using this system at the same time?
Thank youuuuu
