3. Insufficient Permissions

So, check Groovy Bot’s role permissions in your server settings. Ensure it has permission to read and send messages, manage channels, and join voice channels. If some permissions are restricted from your end adjust them accordingly.

4. Incorrect Command Prefix or Syntax

Using the wrong command prefix or syntax can also result in commands not working. by Groovy Bot. This might happen because Groovy can’t recognize the commands if misspelled or use the wrong prefix.

So, make sure to check the command prefix you’ve set up for Groovy Bot in your server settings. Use the correct syntax for commands i.e. making sure there’s enough space and the format is correct. If you’re not sure how to use a command, check the Groovy bot’s guide or refer to our commanding guide above.

5. Bot Blacklisted Commands:

Some commands may be disabled or restricted by bot developers or server admins. It could be due to member preference or for keeping a clean environment.

6. Command Rate Limits:

Sounds difficult right, but keeping it simple, Discord sets rules to stop bots from being overused. If you send too many commands too fast, Discord might slow down or stop the bot for a bit. This might happen because the server can’t handle so many commands at once. To avoid this, just take a short break between each command. If you notice the bot isn’t responding, wait a bit before trying again.
