Tracing activity and ratelimits
Hi, I would like to be able to collect information on what all a bot is doing over the API (what endpoints are being hit and request duration etc) and be able to understand things like when ratelimits are being hit. This would help me ensure all is working well with my bot and triage things like hangs. Does Discord.JS support any means of collecting diagnostic information like this? Alternatively, is there any way to easily hook into Discord.JS internals for this?

Spurious messageUpdate
I just observed a messageUpdate event emitted on a message from 2018 that doesn't show as edited. What can cause this other than an edit? There are no embeds to the message so it shouldn't be embed related. Can this event fire when there is no change?

Check timeouts that have been issued
Is there a way to get a list of timeouts for users on a guild similar to Guild.bans? My specific use case: I need to check if a timeout has been issued for a specific user even if they aren't in the server, which guild.members.fetch(...)..communicationDisabledUntil !== null doesn't work for.

Prevent link embeds while sending a message
How can I prevent link embeds while sending a message? I'd like to avoid <url> if possible since I'm working with user-controlled input. https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/issues/7818 seems to suggest it's technically possible to surpress at send time rather than doing a followup suppressEmbeds call

channel.messages.fetch is giving messages outside the after/before range
I am encountering an issue where 
                const messages = await channel.messages.fetch({
                    limit: 100,
                    cache: false,
                    after: earliest_snowflake,
                    before: latest_snowflake,
                });
                const messages = await channel.messages.fetch({
                    limit: 100,
                    cache: false,
                    after: earliest_snowflake,
                    before: latest_snowflake,
                });
is giving messages outside the specified range. What could cause this? Is it a discordjs bug or a discord api bug?

Somehow getting forum posts from a completely unrelelated forum channel
I have a utility function to fetch threads from a forum channel 
export async function fetch_all_threads_archive_count(forum: Discord.ForumChannel, count: number) {
    const threads = new Discord.Collection([
        ...await fetch_active_threads(forum),
        ...await fetch_inactive_threads_count(forum, count)
    ]);
    return threads;
}
export async function fetch_all_threads_archive_count(forum: Discord.ForumChannel, count: number) {
    const threads = new Discord.Collection([
        ...await fetch_active_threads(forum),
        ...await fetch_inactive_threads_count(forum, count)
    ]);
    return threads;
}
Somehow this utility is giving me a completely unrelated forum post though: 
            // ... 
            const threads = await fetch_all_threads_archive_count(forum, cleanup_limit);
            M.debug("Cleaning up", threads.size, "threads in", forum.name);
            for(const [ _, thread ] of threads) {
                M.debug(thread.name, thread.parentId, forum.id, forum.name);
                assert(thread.parentId && thread.parentId == forum.id);
                ...
            }
            // ... 
            const threads = await fetch_all_threads_archive_count(forum, cleanup_limit);
            M.debug("Cleaning up", threads.size, "threads in", forum.name);
            for(const [ _, thread ] of threads) {
                M.debug(thread.name, thread.parentId, forum.id, forum.name);
                assert(thread.parentId && thread.parentId == forum.id);
                ...
            }
I'm getting an output of Git 1124619767542718524 1013107104678162544 forum-a. The thread "Git" is from a channel called resources, not forum-a. I have no idea how it got here. I have no idea why the parent id could be different. The functions the utility calls 
export async function fetch_active_threads(forum: Discord.ForumChannel) {
    const { threads } = await forum.threads.fetchActive();
    return threads;
}

export async function fetch_inactive_threads_count(forum: Discord.ForumChannel, count: number) {
    let before: string | undefined = undefined;
    const thread_entries: [string, Discord.ThreadChannel][] = [];
    while(true) {
        const { threads, hasMore } = await forum.threads.fetchArchived({ before, limit: Math.min(count, 100) });
        thread_entries.push(...threads);
        // The type annotation is needed because of a typescript bug
        // https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/51115
        const last: Discord.ThreadChannel = threads.last()!;
        before = last.id;
        count -= threads.size;
        if(!hasMore || count <= 0) {
            break;
        }
    }
    return new Discord.Collection(thread_entries);
}
export async function fetch_active_threads(forum: Discord.ForumChannel) {
    const { threads } = await forum.threads.fetchActive();
    return threads;
}

export async function fetch_inactive_threads_count(forum: Discord.ForumChannel, count: number) {

        const { threads, hasMore } = await forum.threads.fetchArchived({ before, limit: Math.min(count, 100) });
        thread_entries.push(...threads);

            break;
        }
    }
    return new Discord.Collection(thread_entries);
}
What's happening?

Expanding the message cache
Quick question: Will this create a cache of 5000 message per channel? 
    makeCache: Discord.Options.cacheWithLimits({

    })
    makeCache: Discord.Options.cacheWithLimits({
        ...Discord.Options.DefaultMakeCacheSettings,
        MessageManager: 5000
    })
I'm running into an issue where message reactions aren't being seen because the messages are presumably falling out of the cache.
