Description
Summary
When rate-limited, await Message.publish() will hang for an hour or more.
Reproduction Steps
I wrote a slash command that posts multiple messages to an announcement channel, and attempts to publish them. There is a 10 published messages per hour limit. I noticed that - once the limit had been reached - calls to the command would post the first message, and then would not publish it, would not post any further messages, would not raise any exception, and would not print anything to the console.
Minimal Reproducible Code
@commands.slash_command()
async def post_and_publish(self, ctx):
channel = ctx.channel # doesn't matter, any announcement channel
await ctx.respond("doesn't matter, just responding to the interaction")
for x in range(20):
message = await channel.send(content=f"this is message number {x}")
try:
await message.publish()
except Exception as e:
LOG.critical(e)Expected Results
I expected the command to finish executing and at least post all of the messages. If it was not possible to publish the message, I expected to receive an error response or catchable exception, so that I could decide whether to retry and whether to finish executing my command.
Actual Results
My command posted the first message and then idled for one hour, before continuing to execute. No exceptions or console output were available.
Intents
none

Additional Context
I think it should raise an exception, or at the very least, the documentation should say that this coroutine can wait for an hour or more, and should accept a "timeout" parameter.
