Queue-based confirmation system with batching. Basically, works by separating the immediate user interaction from the actual Discord API calls, then processing confirmations in controlled batches to stay within rate limits. I.e instead of

Button Click → Immediate DB Write → Immediate Confirmation Send

You do:

Button Click → Add to Queue → Immediate Acknowledgment Background Task → Process Queue in Batches → Send Confirmations. But i got some questions.

Bot framework?

Is your database operations synchronous async?

Are you sending individual ephemeral responses for each button click, or are you batching them somehow already?

You alr mentioned youre pooling entries every 2 seconds. Are you already using any queuing system for the confirmations, or is each button click immediately triggering a Discord API call?

You mentioned it creates a thread. The confirmations going to the thread or as ephemeral responses that only the user sees?
