Counters
Live server-stat displays — a renamed voice channel, a single embed, or a multi-stat group embed — that keep themselves updated automatically.
This is different from the Counting Game — that's a channel where members count up together; a "counter" here is just a live stat display, with no interaction from members at all.
Three Display Types
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| VC Counter | A voice channel whose name shows a live stat, e.g. "Members: 1,204" — auto-created by Aegis, and locked so nobody can actually connect to it |
| Single Embed | One message showing one stat as a title + value |
| Group Embed | One message with multiple stat fields — a "Server Stats" style dashboard embed, each field independently toggleable |
Supported Stats
Total Members, Users (humans only), Bots, Roles, Channels (all / text / voice / category / announcement / stage), Boosts, Boost Tier, Emojis, Members with a specific Role, and Members without any roles.
Update Cadence
A check runs every 2 minutes, but actual updates are throttled separately per display type: VC channel renames are limited to once every 6 minutes (Discord itself heavily rate-limits channel renames), while embed edits are limited to once every 3 minutes. Updates also fire immediately (subject to those same limits) on relevant events — member join/leave, role/channel changes, and so on.
If you delete a counter's channel or message directly in Discord, Aegis notices and removes the matching row automatically rather than erroring on the next update.
