Can't load lots of messages with user token

[idanyas]

I have a discord channel with ~248.9gb of data and I use a user token, the problem is that at first everything worked, but when the data size increased I started getting:

discordFS >>> booting discordFS +0ms (and then ddrive closes)

The Discord account itself is alive, through the client I can easily read messages and download files from the channel. (as well as upload them)

[idanyas]

after very many runs it started

Are you trying from local machine? I think it's memory issue

[idanyas]

I don't think the problem is memory, I have 24GB of RAM on my VPS and most of the time memory is free (including when I run ddrive, you can see it in the screenshot below)

I also tried running the bot, and after 5 minutes I got the standard error that the messages in the channel were not sent by the bot. (I think it managed to read all the messages successfully, unlike the user)

Does your bot have Message Content Intent enabled?

@idanyas Can you join https://discord.gg/3TCZRYafhW to discuss further?

[idanyas]

ah, I answer through a translator. I don't think we can talk normally, but I can try.

[idanyas]

Does your bot have Message Content Intent enabled?

Oh, I think I forgot about that. Gave the bot this feature and it was able to start.

Closing the issue and updating the README

[idanyas]

But it still does not start using the user token.

@idanyas Have you tried this option?

ddrive/README.md

Line 121 in 9979a00

// authPrefix: '', Uncomment this if you're using user token

[forscht]

const restOpts = {
    timeout: '60000',
    authPrefix: '', // Uncomment this if you're using user token
}
const discordFS = new DiscordFS({
    token, channelId, rest: restOpts, chunkSize,
})

[idanyas]

Yes, of course.

The thing is that when there was not much data, everything ran smoothly. However, when a lot of data is stored (in my case about 250GB) it stops starting.

and at the same time if I start from the bot (not from the user) everything runs smoothly

[idanyas]

Maybe mark it as a bug?

[forscht]

@idanyas I think it's not bug but Discord is rate limiting get message API for users token

[idanyas]

I think so, too. When you start with a user token it starts instantly unlike bots. (until it reaches rate limits and stops starting, of course.)

I assume for now the solution is not to store too much data using the user token. Given the recent update with 500MB files makes it a lot easier.
