Slow connection & disconnection on v2.0

[tiykuma]

When I use await channel.connect() method and disconnect(), it takes about a minute to connect & disconnect from the vc. What should I do?

Get better Internet.

That's not the problem. I tried my VPS and it's the same as my laptop.

Enable logging as per the documentation so that you can see the voice lifecycle. It'll help you (and us) figure out what's wrong.

This was solved in the discord.py server.

For those who come here with the same issue, the author was changing presences in a loop like so:

while True:
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game('name'))

This exhausted the rate limit of the gateway websocket and it had to wait a minute for the rate limit to pass. The solution to this problem is to sleep between presence changes so the gateway can still do other operations.

while True:
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game('name'))
    await asyncio.sleep(60 * 60 * 12)  # 12 hours
