Definitions
Being blocked by Discord (or another API) for sending too many requests in a short period. Bots that misbehave get ratelimited; spammers get ratelimited; users who try to send 50 messages in 5 seconds get a popup. 'You're being ratelimited' is the canonical Discord cooldown message — many users have seen it during outages even at normal usage.
bot is ratelimited, give it 5 minutes before retrying

The maximum number of requests in a given timeframe that are able to be made to a server that uses rate limiting.
- rate limit67%
The max number of requests you can send an API in a given window. Hitting it returns a 429; every developer has hit one; OpenAI's 429s are the stuff of 2am Slack threads.
- Raid bot60%
An automated bot used to flood a Discord server or Twitch chat with messages, often coordinating with multiple alt accounts to overwhelm moderation. Distinct from a Twitch 'raid' (a friendly cross-channel viewer hand-off). Raid bots are universally bannable, and most large servers/Twitch channels run anti-raid bots that auto-ban accounts matching raider patterns.
- Self-bot59%
Running a bot on your own Discord user account (rather than a proper Discord bot account) — automating reactions, message responses, voice-channel joining, etc. Self-botting violates Discord's Terms of Service and can get the account terminated. Common in cheat-engine and 'farming' communities for grinding rewards.
