How do I make sure my Discord bot stays idle?

I have a discord bot that sets a status to idle when it's ready, but is there a way to ensure it stays idle, and doesn't eventually switch to an online status?

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

Or does Discord always set the bot's activity status to online when it sends a message?

if you don't want to change it, consider setting it in the client constructor options no, it's an implementation detail of their entire presence infrastructure which can result in losing presences

I'm already setting it on startup to idle, that's the only place I set it

export default {
    name: Events.ClientReady,
    once: true,
    async execute(client) {
        await client.user.setPresence ({
            status: 'idle',
            activities: [{
                type: ActivityType.Custom,
                name: 'activity',
                state: 'Overseeing Servers'
            }]
        })
        console.log(`Ready! As ${client.user.tag}`);
        logs.logMessage(`🌃 Online and connected as v${await getVersion()}!`);
    }
};

export default {
    name: Events.ClientReady,
    once: true,
    async execute(client) {
        await client.user.setPresence ({
            status: 'idle',
            activities: [{
                type: ActivityType.Custom,
                name: 'activity',
                state: 'Overseeing Servers'
            }]
        })
        console.log(`Ready! As ${client.user.tag}`);
        logs.logMessage(`🌃 Online and connected as v${await getVersion()}!`);
    }
};
