Error 429 Too Many Requests when I try to host my bot with Render
I made a discord bot that is basically a super simple honeypot to get bots banned from my server, however, when I try to host my bot using render, I get this error:
discord.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests (error code: 0):
The weird part is that when I run this code locally on my computer, I don't get this error and it is only when I try to host it using render. Also for some reason I am unable to view the discord.log file in render, so I have no idea how to debug this.
Here is the code for the bot:
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import logging
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
import random
from keep_alive import keep_alive
# bot setup
load_dotenv()
token = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
keep_alive()
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename="discord.log", encoding="utf-8", mode="w")
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
# constants
MOD_ROLES = ["Mod"]
BOT_TRAP_CHANNEL = 1472514187757355131
BANNED_BOTS_CHANNEL = 1472840649433944145
BOT_ROLE = "I am a robot"
BAN_REASON = "you are a bot and bots are cringe"
BAN_MESSAGES = [
"{m} thought they were a robot",
"{m} selected the \"I am a robot\" role (not a good idea)",
"{m} was NOT cooking. (you CAN believe it)",
"{m} is a bot. Have fun being banned!",
"{m} can't read... or they were a bot.",
"Everyone please laugh at {m}.",
"What is {m} doing? (being a bot and probably scamming people or smth)",
"{m} died",
"{b} is better that {m}.",
"{b} is the only bot here that we like. The same can not be said about {m}",
"{m}.ban(reason=\"you are a bot and bots are cringe\")",
"{m} get banned noob",
"{m} was NOT a human.",
"{m} is a filthy clanker",
"A wild {m} turned out to actually be a bot!"
]
