Yeah, I can confirm this bug. If one allows DDM to delete messages as fast as possible, it’ll continously hit the rate limits and reach a delay somewhere in the 4-12 seconds range which is never lowered again. After a bit of testing, I’ve found that manually adjusting the delay to around 1000ms (1s) allows the script to work through thousands of messages without hitting Discord’s rate limits.
@victornpb I think a potential solution would be to add a new form field where users can enter a custom delay to deal with server-side rate limit changes like this.
