So atm I'm working on a Discord.js bot and have a command to ban people. The issue is if I turn the bot off and on again all the setTimeouts reset. So say, if I were to ban someone for a week, turn the bot off and on in between there, they will never automatically be unbanned.
setTimeout(function () {
memberTarget.roles.remove(bannedRole);
}, ms(args[1]));
What other way could I use for it to remember to unban everyone after the bot has been turned on again?
You need to use database or data persist
Store bans data to database/data persist then set worker to check for unban (expiry).
