I am following your How to Create a Discord Bot tutorial, but I am running into a 429 “>You are being rate limited” error when I run the bot, even when using the example code from the guide.
The code:
import discord
import os
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
await message.channel.send('Hello!')
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))
The error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 18, in <module>
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

Is there a way around this? This happened on the first attempt at running my bot.
I have seen this issue report elsewhere, such as in Glitch’s forums. I wonder if this is a similar issue in that Repl.it hosts are getting banned/rate limited by Discord rather than my specific bot.
Thoughts? Help?
