Activites messages going away after updating to 13.8.0

Which package is this bug report for?

discord.js

Issue description

Since updating to 13.8.0 from 13.7.0 the activity messages on the bots have been going away after a seemingly random amount of time (sometimes 10min sometimes a few hours).

I haven’t changed any code to do with updating the activity messages in like a year and always functioned correctly before. Not getting any error messages either.

In my bots the activity message is updated whenever the bot joins or leaves a guild. And doing so will bring the message back, but after some time it will go away again.

Cannot seem to locate any issues on my end so I suspect it is on discord.js side.

Code sample

'use strict';
module.exports = {
	name: 'guildCreate',
	once: false,
	execute(guild) {
            guild.client.user.setActivity(`${guild.client.guilds.cache.size} Servers`, { type: 'WATCHING' });
	},
};

Persistence frames of presences are on Discord, randomly resetting is not new, and your update to 13.8.0 is very likely a coincidence in the timeline. Use a sensible interval timer and send the presence again (I would personally advise to keep it above or at least in the region of 1m)

I didn’t deny that it’s actually happening more often

Fair enough and you are correct, it could very well be discord, or even the cloud host if a spotty connection could effect it. It is barely even a nuisance for me in any case. I also don’t know what was or wasn’t changed during the update, I just put this up because it doesn’t seem to be coming from my end and since there was no issue with the system before, I figure it worth mentioning.

What is a ideal interval for keeping your bots status up?

It shouldn’t really matter, a single timer going off even every minute shouldn’t effect performance much. I will probably set one about every hour or two just because I don’t care if it is down for that long.
