Unknown Interaction

The “Unknown Interaction” error generally occurs when your bot does not respond to an interaction within Discord’s required timeframe.

Discord allows your bot or application up to 3 seconds to send an initial response. If no response is sent within this window, the interaction expires and can no longer be used, resulting in this error.

How to prevent this:

• Always respond to interactions within 3 seconds
• If your command needs more time to process, defer the reply

Deferring the response tells Discord that your bot is processing the request, giving you more time to send a final reply without triggering the error.
