New Discord event? (SESSIONS_REPLACE)

[furretpaws]

I was trying to do something funny with the Discord Gateway and I received this weird event

{"t":"SESSIONS_REPLACE","s":2,"op":0,"d":[{"status":"invisible","session_id":"session id here","client_info":{"version":0,"os":"other","client":"web"},"activities":[]}]}

It is not documented on the official Discord API. I have been searching for this event and I have found nothing. I think I might be the first person to notice about it?

EDIT: No I'm not the first person to notice about it, someone in 2020 asked the same thing

Pretty sure that’s when you connect to the gateway using a user token, which you shouldn’t be doing as it’s against ToS afaik

Hello, person who made this event many years ago here.

As others have mentioned, this is a user specific dispatch event, and not received by bots, and only user accounts (which means you are probably using a user token to connect to the gateway I assume via unofficial means.) I would avoid doing that as it could lead to our systems flagging, and potentially disabling the account.

For those who are however curious, SESSIONS_REPLACE essentially sends an update to your client of your other connected clients and their statuses.

I didn't know user tokens were against ToS or anything, but still, that's good to know, thank you
