Uh oh!

Apparently Discord did something on the backend and now if you try to access servers, threads or channels that you do not have access to due to you leaving the server, channels/threads getting deleted or getting banned/kicked from it, or even the server straight-up being deleted, your account will be flagged and a restriction will be placed on you to block you from using the platform (read-only, cannot chat, this scarlet letter will follow you for 2 years) for 2 days. You'll also be forced to change your password, thus resetting your API key.
I think there should be a way to check if the channel/thread/server exists and the user has access to the said resource BEFORE the program even attempts to process it should be implemented. (i.e. by polling the available channels and threads before making requests, making sure the user is in the server by polling the guilds list, etc.)
