feature request: bot message limit warning message

[seshubonam]

Hi, we have used this matrix bot in a chat application. Where, users can use publicly available ai bot for upto 10 messages and post this, it will send a message to user about "10 message limit reached, resume in 1 hour or add your own API key"

We tried to implement this but ran into issues where the bot stopped responding after message limit is reached.

More context of our implementation: User can add own API key by using a !key command. but in our implementation, after the 10 message warning the bot stops to respond.

Any ideas how we could implement this?

thanks !

We implemented it using simple dict as it resets every 3 hours,it triggers the condition just doesn't send the message.

the required flow is:.

after 10 messages are sent by the ai/bot
it should send a message that 10 message limit has exceeded ,

at present it doesnt send the message

and it works after set time limit (3 hours in our case) is over.

it triggers the condition just doesn't send the message.

I recommend creating a breakpoint here and then step into to see what happen in details.

Besides, i guess this function will only execute once.

To make thing easier, you can use apschuduler library: https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io/en/3.x/
Create a background scheduler when matrix bot iniitialize.
