Welcome, recently there has been lots of incidents involving discord bots, and nobody is quite sure what’s going on.

We’ve recently added a proxy and rate limiter to combat abuse and poor programming practices. Some programming languages or frameworks do not support looking in the default certificate store location, so my guess would be this is your issue.

What programming language are you using?

If you DM me a link to your Repl, I could also take a look.
