Startup Timeout
Your bot took too long to start.
What happened
BotNinja waited for your bot to come online, but it didn't respond in time. This is sometimes a temporary issue, but it can also mean your bot is doing too much work before connecting to Discord.
How to fix it
1
Try again first
This is often temporary. Run the command again in Discord — your bot may start fine the second time.
2
If it keeps happening, ask BotNinja AI
Open the BotNinja Dashboard, select your bot, and send:
- "My bot keeps timing out when starting. Can you fix it?"
- "My bot takes too long to start. Can you make it faster?"
- "My bot keeps timing out when starting. Can you fix it?"
- "My bot takes too long to start. Can you make it faster?"

The AI will speed things up
The AI will check if your bot is doing too much work before connecting to Discord and reorganize things so it starts faster.

Ask the community
If the AI can't solve it, ask in our Discord community — other bot builders may have hit the same issue and can help.
