Syncing slash commands with their respective normal (prefix-based) commands

[ghost]

I probably used the incorrect terminology in regards to syncing them. But I have a beg command I made and it has both a prefix-based command and a slash command.

Error handler:
if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
embed = discord.Embed(title = '', color = discord.Color.red())
embed.add_field(name = "Error", value = "Still on cooldown, please try again in {:.2f}s'.format(error.retry_after))
await ctx.send(embed = embed)

I know that I will likely need to add another one of these^ for slash commands.

Then I have:
@commandscooldown(1, 240, commands.BucketType.user)
On the prefix-based command.

Following the documentation on slash command cooldowns: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html?highlight=cooldown#discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown

I figure I could use something like what's shown, but prior to digging down a rabbit hole, how would I make it so that if a user types the prefix based command, they won't be able to then also use the slash command until a "shared" cooldown so-to-speak ends?

If you use a hybrid command then the cooldowns and checks etc are all shared and work transparently as expected.

Everything works mostly the same with a few restrictions, like Union types not working or *args syntax.
