Allow setting Bots Status with REST API

[touhidurrr]

I have a Slash Command Bot made as Serverless Function that responds to Slash Commad Requests through Interaction Endpoints.

Since it is implemented like this, the Bot, by It's nature, doesn’t connect to anything.

Now I wanted to set status for my Bot or maybe change it frequently (as it would look cooler) but found out that it is not possible without connecting to the gateway. (Uncool)

I suggest that the abillty to set a Bots Status should be available via the REST API also.

UPDATE:

I think that it's not good if the Developers who are making use of Slash Commads & Slash Command Endpoints to Create new Bots can't even display a custom Status for the Bot without connecting to the Gateway. As Slash Commands by their nature is more secure than Text Commands also Slash Command Endpoints should be able to reduce the resource consumption from both with as the Bot doesn’t need to be connected to the Discord Servers continuously but only responds to a Command when it arrives, the Developers should not allow a situation where Bots made with Slash Commands has less presence than Normal Bots and thus looks Uncool and should promote the creating or transition to such Bots.

At present, Slash Command bots doesn’t show anu online status or activity status and look less cooler than Normal Bots.

That's all.

When you are REST-only, there is no continuing connection, so you are indeed considered no presence.
