When we first launched recurring events a few weeks ago, we quickly realized there were some major bugs and decided to disable them temporarily. We’ve put in a lot of work since then to ensure they work correctly. Going forward, we want to take reliability more seriously. So today we’re launching recurring events as a beta feature, until it’s been in users’ hands long enough for us to feel certain about the system’s reliability.
To opt-in to the beta, just run !beta
on whichever servers you’d like. We’ll be closing beta signups shortly once we have enough participants, but Patreon supporters will continue to be automatically opted-in.
Update: beta signups are closed for now, thanks for participating!!
