Limits

The caps you can actually run into, and which of them come from Discord rather than Cloudy.

Only the limits you can hit in normal use. Every numeric setting also states its own range on its plugin page.

Comes from Discord, not Cloudy

These are platform limits — no plan changes them:

  • 20 reactions per message, which is what caps a reaction role panel.
  • 25 options in a select menu, which is what caps ticket categories and the channels a scheduled message can target.
  • 5 inputs in a modal, which is what caps a ticket intake form.
  • 2000 characters per message, 6000 per embed.
  • 100 characters per channel name, which a counter template has to stay under.
  • Two channel renames per ten minutes, per channel — the reason counters refresh on a spacing of nine minutes rather than instantly.
  • 28 days maximum timeout length — for /timeout, AutoMod and a honeypot alike.
  • Audit log entries expire after roughly 45 days.

Rate limits

Resetting a server's settings and data is limited to two runs per hour.

Honeypot

A trap channel for spam bots and hijacked accounts — whoever writes in it is banned, kicked or timed out automatically.
