Direct messages are not sent

I need to send a message to all guild participants I have a message handler:

var userId = socketMessage.Author.Id;
var mainGuild = _client.GetGuild(Bot.MainGuildId);

// Send news
if (socketMessage.Channel.Id == NewsChannelId)
{    
    var users = mainGuild.GetUsersAsync().GetAsyncEnumerator();
    
    while (users.MoveNextAsync().Result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(users.Current.Count);
        
        foreach (var user in users.Current)
        {
            try
            {
                var channel = await user.GetOrCreateDMChannelAsync();
                await channel.SendMessageAsync(socketMessage.Content);
            
                Console.WriteLine($"Sent msg to {user.Username}");
            }
            catch (Discord.Net.HttpException e)
            { 
                Console.Write($"Msg: {e.Message}\n" +
                            $"Username: {user.Username}");
            }   
        }
    }
}

But while sending a message to the user ( users.MoveNextAsync() ), an HttpException is thrown with the message “Missing Access”. This is probably due to the fact that there is no DIRECT_MESSAGES intent in the config, but if I connect it, the bot will process Ready for a very long time and after that it will not respond to anything.

That’s called mass dming that’s not allowed

I’ve tried mass DMing, not worth it, you’ll just get your Discord application banned. If you’re gonna do it anyway, then add a 10-minute delay every 10 users DMed.
