Commands should be rate limited in:

  • private
  • channel
  • summon

This can either be per-user or global but generally follows this structure:

  1. When a message is received, mark the time it was received.
  2. When a message is received, check if the time since the last message is below a certain threshold
    • (per user) Increment a map[string]int value for the command author
    • (global) Increment an int for the bot
  4. If that value goes over a threshold, block commands for the next X seconds and reset the counters.
