Answer 1

You can get custom status to appear on a bot, but it won't be able to say anything. According to a Github issue on discord-api-docs, More specifically, this issue, and even more specifically, this comment on that issue. You can basically set the activity type to 4 for the client's cs by using the ClientUser.setActivity() method, and check it's full profile to see that custom status is technically available for bots.

bot.user.setActivity(`this won't appear in the bot's custom status!`, {type: 4})
