So the bot is in the final stages of recovering, just cleaning up things here and there now.

Here's what caused the 3 hour downtime:

At around 4am CEST a backup of the main DB started, its over 100GB so it takes some time, but it also decreases disk performance aswell, this caused the DB to fall behind and shards started dying because of it, around half the shards died initially, constantly trying to reconnect

At 5:30am CEST the token was reset because of too many gateway identifies (caused by constantly trying to reconnect as mentioned above) causing the whole thing to come down

At around 5:40am CEST the bot servers got banned for api spam because of faulty reconnect code causing spam when the token was reset.

So yeah, my fault in the end, need to re-engineer backups and fix my stupid reconnect code.

Entire bot died, I assume the token was reset.

YAGPDB v1.20

Been a long since last major version, there's a lot of smaller updates done tough, a lot of improvements to the backend code as load increases, bugfixes, smaller feature additions and so on.

This update brings enough new things that I'm bumping the version tough (note that some of these were available in some of the smaller updates i mentioned above, but i never mentioned them anywhere else so I'm putting them here aswell):

General changes

Various fixes and improvements to the website
Toprep, usernames and nicknames now uses paginated reponses
Automodv2: Added new slowmode effect to put the channel on a slowmode either permanently or for a certain duration
Rolemenus: Enabled automatic reaction sync for single mode on premium servers, I'm planning on implementing a more intelligent version for all servers soon
Tickets: You can now set a separate transcript channel for admin only tickets
Verification: No longer relies on roles for kick/warning check, meaning you can remove the role safely after they verify

The above is in effect now, i will edit this messages with updates.

Edit #1: some problems with the update, trying again now

Edit #2: initial shard migration is in progress, can't initiate the log migration before all nodes are updated

Edit #3: Looks like its gonna take 2 days to fully migrate the houndreds of millions of messages over, sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit #4: Since it's taking so long i might add a temporary read only fallback for the legacy logs tomorrow, we'll see how far it gets, im heading to bed for now tough

Edit #5: Migration is complete, to give you an idea how much space this saved: previous size for the logs was 69GB, now its 17GB
