Discord Timeouts Issue

[mdiller]

Getting issues every now and then with mangobyte hanging up and eventually timing out, sometimes resulting in just not replying to a command. This happens a lot on initial startup, and makes it so that we can't connect to all previously connected voice channels. I'm not sure exactly what's going on here but it isn't an easy fix.

This might be due to the "global rate limit" described here but I'm not certain.

Also note that adapting to the slash commands system (see item #40 ) could alleviate some of this, as it should result in less overall communication between the bot and discord as we wont be reading all messages.

Beyond completely solving this problem, we can also mitigate it by doing things like only very slowly connecting to voice channels on startup. This might be worth doing in the mean time.
