Auto Slowmode
Slowmode goes up automatically when lots of people type at once, and comes back down when things calm down.
In the panel under: Moderation, Auto Slowmode
When lots of members suddenly type in a channel at the same time, for example during an event, an announcement or a raid, AlphaCloud raises the slowmode step by step. As soon as things have calmed down again, it goes back down level by level to the value you set yourself.
Auto Slowmode works with fixed rules and only counts messages, it doesn't use AI.

Settings
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Watched channels | The bot only changes the slowmode in these channels |
| Busy from (messages per minute) | From this number on, a channel counts as busy, 5 to 500 |
| Highest slowmode | The bot never goes higher than this: 5 s, 10 s, 15 s, 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min or 10 min |
| Announce in the channel | Posts a short notice like "slowmode is now 30 seconds". The previous notice is deleted |
How the bot decides
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| In the last minute, at least as many messages as set came in, from at least 3 different members | Slowmode goes up one level, at most every 30 seconds |
| The channel was quiet for 2 minutes (less than half the threshold) | Slowmode goes down one level |
| Back at the starting value | The bot releases the channel again and announces it |
The levels are 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 300 and 600 seconds.
Your own slowmode is kept
Before the bot raises a channel for the first time, it remembers the slowmode you set yourself and returns exactly there at the end. This also works across a bot restart. If you take a channel off the list or turn the module off, the bot also resets the channel to your value.
Team members with "Manage Messages" or "Manage Channels" are exempt from Discord's slowmode anyway.
