Interactions Endpoint URL needs to be removed in order to change bot presence from online to offline

[An-m1654]

Let me clarify a little bit of what I'm trying to do:
I have an interactions endpoint that checks for commands, which avoid using Message Content Privileged Intent. I want the bot to be online when my interaction endpoint url is online, and vice versa. I don't think there is a way to set presence with NodeJS interaction endpoint, so I also use discord.py to change the presence whenever I turn the interaction endpoint on or off.

It's a bit weird I have to remove the Interactions Endpoint URL every time I want to change my bot's presence from online to offline with a gateway. This doesn't affect offline to online though. Is this a bug or supposed to work like this?

I'm making a discord bot for the first time so I may be doing something (very) wrong.

side note: I don't get why presence needs privilege actually. The read more button, searching the docs and searching discord support doesn't lead me anywhere. I want to try not using any privileged gateway intents but presence intent needs privileged gateway intents so technically I can use gateway for everything but my problem / question still exists.

Its for receiving other users' presences, not setting.

Oh interesting... They should really make a clear documentation for it. (Unless It's already there and I can't find it, then that would make it my problem.)
