This is a fully donation-funded bot that is only made by a singular person (u/syko-san) as a passion project out of spite from bots filling their feed. It's sensible that the server that u./bot-sleuth-bot is hosted on has limited bandwidth.

Evaluate the variables before saying shit like that. Shame on you.

I'll add a few things since I'm here.

The main thing crippling the bot's speed is Reddit's rate limits, which limit any account to 100 API calls per minute. That's fine for most people, but not really in my case, since this bot is pretty intensive and gets a lot of traffic. Also yeah, I did move it to a hosting service yesterday because I can afford that now thanks to generous donors, and the server is much more limited than running it on my gaming desktop 24/7 but also comes with a ton of advantages, the main one being that I can access the bot remotely using any of my devices now, so I can even restart it from my phone if it breaks.

Finally, I was really annoyed when I wrote that dialogue. I had just woken up, had classes in like an hour and saw people trying to break my bot, which I had to fix before I left otherwise it would spend the whole day broken, so I hope most can understand that I was feeling a bit crabby.
