/hangman bug report

[Nessus-the-Punisher]

since a few days the judgebot on our server can not start hangman games anymore. It seems to work after the reset but after about 10 to 15 games the bot just gives out following message:

"Error
You can only start one hangman game every 3 minutes."

I saw that a few years back that seemes to be a problem as well, but I could not find any solution. Would be great to get some help with that :)

If it happens after several games there may be some edge case where it's not clearing out the game state. If you can try to identify exactly when/why this happens it would be very helpful for debugging this issue.

Its kinda weird. It happened for a period of about 4 days where after about 10 messages it didnt work anymore.
Since the day of making this post it worked fluidly again, without any problems.

It might just be a weird race condition that depends on what other users are doing. Or maybe @bra1n restarted the server. Hard to tell at this point.

There was an outage a few days ago, could've been related to that. 🤔
