A frequent user of this bot in our discord server is having the same issue, we're trying to pinpoint it. It seems specific to selfbots / user accounts.

It's likely crashing due to experiencing the same error when intermittently checking the discord connection, prompting it to attempt to reconnect.

[Cronosus]

yep, thats my case too

Same here

Then what @Cronosus reported with the crash.

I have a similar issue, Might be the same problem or related.

error message in discord

Encountered an error requesting messages for ####################: invalide character "e" looking for beginning of value.

This is matched in the shell with an error

could not read response from "url": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timout or context cancellation while reading body)

after a while it will crash.

The issue seems to be at least in part that the bot is hitting discord API limits, hence the error message. I've had some success tuning my process limit and batch number settings, but it's still fairly inconsistent depending on how many things it does or doesn't download, resulting in the error message above flooding the logs.

Just throwing this out there for anyone looking for somewhat of a fix until something is properly rolled out. I would attempt to implement some fixes, but my knowledge of go is very lacking, and even more so for the libraries being used.

I assume this is known but this issue only happens with email login not token, Fixed it for me at least.

[Fishpat02]

Yeah, only seems to happen for user bot for me.
