Scheduled tasks

The following sections detail each task, then the module timers.

On every start (update, restart), the bot gets everything ready in this order:

1. Temporary status: the bot shows "I'm restarting..." while it starts.
2. Servers' configuration: each server's language, color, time zone and channels are loaded. A raid mode whose duration has passed is turned off at this point.
3. Temporary voice channels: for each known temporary voice channel, the bot forgets the ones that no longer exist, transfers ownership if the owner left, deletes the empty ones and reposts the control panel of the others.
4. Polls and giveaways: running ones pick up their timer again. The ones that should have ended while the bot was down end right away (with a draw for giveaways). A giveaway whose reward is no longer possible (XP while levels are off, deleted role) is cancelled. If their message is gone, they are removed.
5. Social networks and RSS: a first check happens right away, then regular checks begin.
6. Invites: the bot remembers each server's invites (if it has Manage Server) to know which invite a new member used.
7. Voice XP: members already in voice start earning XP again.
8. Flames: the inactive flame cleanup starts (first run 10 minutes after startup).
9. Status: the status rotation begins.

Every 20 seconds, the bot's status moves to the next text, always in English:

At most every 5 minutes, these totals are saved for the website's statistics.

RSS feeds

• Every 60 seconds, the bot goes through all feeds. It only actually checks a feed if its interval has passed since the last check (from 1 minute to 24 hours, set on the website).
• On each check, only the latest article of the feed is considered. An article already announced isn't posted again (except with the website's Check & send last article button). If several articles are published between two checks, only the most recent one is announced.
• Right after a feed is added, the first check announces its latest article.

YouTube

• Every 2 hours, the bot looks for the latest video of each followed channel and announces it if it's new. A video can therefore be announced up to 2 hours after it goes online.
• If two videos come out within the same interval, only the latest one is announced. Right after a channel is added, the first check announces its latest video.

Twitch

• Every 30 seconds, the bot checks whether each followed channel is live.
• Stream start: the announcement message is posted (with the mention of the chosen role).
• During the stream: the message is updated at most every 3 minutes (title, game, viewer count, preview).
• Stream end: the bot waits 10 minutes, then turns the message into a replay announcement, if Twitch offers one.

Limits and manual check

• Only social networks within the server plan's limit are checked (2, 5 or unlimited per platform), starting with the oldest ones (see Premium plans and limits).
• On the website, the Check & send last video (social networks) or Check & send last article (RSS) button runs an immediate check of a social network or an RSS feed, with a delay between two checks of 30 minutes (Free), 15 minutes (Basic) or 10 minutes (Ultimate).

The content of the messages is described on the Social networks and RSS page.

Flame days follow the server's time zone (local midnight). There is no midnight task: the flame is computed on each of the member's activities.

On top of that, every 10 minutes, the bot looks at up to 100 flames whose member has had no activity for more than 48 hours:

• if the server has freezes turned on and the member has enough freezes left this month, one freeze is used per missed day, and the flame is kept;
• otherwise, the flame goes back to 0 and, if automatic renaming is on, the flame suffix is removed from the member's nickname.

No message is posted during this cleanup, and the member's record is kept. How flames and freezes work is explained on the Flames (streaks) page.

• Every 60 seconds, each member in voice (except bots and members on the blacklist) earns the voice XP set for the server.
• The first XP comes a full minute after connecting. Switching voice channels restarts the minute.
• There is no extra condition: a muted member or a member alone in their channel also earns XP.
• When the bot starts, members already in voice start earning XP again.
• If the server's voice XP changes, a member already connected keeps the old value until they reconnect.

See Levels and XP.

Some modules schedule an action for later. These timers don't all behave the same way after the bot restarts:

The interactive panels of commands (/config, /poll, /giveaway…) also expire after a few minutes without any action.

Raid mode

Raid mode lasts 24 hours when turned on with /raid-mode, or the duration chosen on the website (1 to 24 hours). There is no timer: the end is noticed on the next member join, the next /raid-mode or the next bot startup. No message is posted when it ends. On a Community server, the pause on invites and DMs set by raid mode ends on its own, handled by Discord. See Anti-raid and security.

• No bump reminder: the bot doesn't tell you when the server can be bumped again. The bump channel receives other servers' bumps, not reminders.
• No scheduled messages and no recurring messages.
• No automatic disconnection of the music player when the queue is finished: it stays in the voice channel until /stop or until the channel is empty.
• No message when raid mode ends.

• Discord events: what the bot does when something happens on the server.
• Social networks and RSS: video, stream and article announcements.
• Flames (streaks) and Levels and XP: flames, freezes and XP.
• Polls, giveaways and suggestions: the end of polls and giveaways.
• Temporary channels: deletion of messages and voice channels.
