Question

How do you make a bot set the slow mode for a channel in discord.py rewrite?

I tried doing this: ctx.channel.slowmode_delay = 10

It didn't get any error, but when I called the above command the slowmode was not applied.

What else can I do?

Answer 1

Here's an example command:

@bot.command()
async def setdelay(ctx, seconds: int):
    await ctx.channel.edit(slowmode_delay=seconds)
    await ctx.send(f"Set the slowmode delay in this channel to {seconds} seconds!")

References:

• f-Strings
• Context.channel
• TextChannel.edit() - setting the delay to 0 will disable slowmode.
