Solution that allows increasing the subcommand limit

[BowkC]

Why should the subcommand limit change?

Many developers have more than 100 commands and thus they will be forced to use subcommands to accommodate for those extra commands. But you can only have 25 subcommands per command and this forces developers to resort to stuff like this:
/image1 avatar
/image2 invert etc
How on earth is the user supposed to know what category it falls under or how to run the command they want?? It is incoherent and sloppy no matter what

The solution

Why not make it so developers can choose their own limit say 10, 25, 50 and 100. Then for each limit they pick, the number of subcommands per command increases. So if I picked my slash command limit at 50, each command could have 50 sub commands. So with this method the theoretical number of slash commands a bot can have never increases but the amount of subcommands can still increase to suit users with large categories - which is extremely useful when applied properly.

This could also be implemented other ways, the user could specify their own limit on slash commands from 1-100 and this would determime the number of subcommands they are permitted to use. Or it could just be a simple select box scenario with 100, 50, 25 and 10 for example.

This method means that the maximum number of requests and theoretical slash commands does not change and that - I think - is key. As far as I know, the implementation of this feature would be a win win for both discord and developers and I see it as mutually beneficial.
I have attached below some examples

But you can only have 25 subcommands per command and this forces developers to resort to stuff like this:
/image commands1 (command:avatar)
/image commands2 (command:invert)
/image commands3 (command:whatever) etc

What is the need for a command option when sub command groups exist, you can achieve 62500 global commands without using options.

>>> 100 * 25 * 25
62500

discord could calculate the subcommand limit based on the number of currently posting slash commands a bot has

This is not a limit from what I understand. What you are saying is "calculate a limit based on how many they use", so a bot can just post more every day to get the maximum limit?

You do not understand my suggestion properly,

1. I do not want more commands of any kind and i am not saying there isn't enough, that was not what I suggested
2. The theoretical maximum number of commands would not change
   The command option was merely one of the examples i provided - I also provided the option of using /image1 /image2 etc. That was not a suggestion, merely an observation and I will redact it to avoid confusion.
3. There is currently a limit on subcommands, 25, and this causes the issue in my aforementioned post.

As for the calculating bit i mentioned If a bot had 50 slash commands discord could calculate that each slash command could have 50 subcommands, 100 --> 25 etc. If the developer increased the number of slash commands they had to 100 the number of subcommands per command could decrease to 25.
Besides, that was one of 3 suggested implementations and I will redact it to avoid confusion.

And as I mentioned in my post, 62500 global commands is great and all but it would end up looking like this:
/image1 invert /image2 sepia /image3 magik /image4 wide
And users would be left rummaging through each subcommand looking for the one that has their command. It is also spammy and very unappealing to the user.
