A little script to count total characters sent in the message search list on Discord

• Open devtool in discord web on desktop and paste the script

• Enter the query in the message finder on discord

• Click the Sum up letters button that appeared after pasting the script

• The stats will get logged in the console

• If you are getting rate limited very often, increase the delay between each iteration

• If you get rate limited midst of running the script

  • Note the totalMessages and totalCharacters count from the console, close the tab and open discord in a new tab
  • Paste the script in the console and enter the same search query again
  • Check that your previous stats was saved by doing document.cookie in the console,
    if its empty or the value is '0', then do document.cookie = '{"totalMessages":0,"totalCharacters":0}', replace the 0s with your actual count
  • Calculate (totalMessages / 25) + 1 and change the search result page to the value you get
  • Click the run button again

  NB : -

  • Don't switch channels while the script is running or you will have to start the script again in a new tab
  • Close the tab if you want to stop the script when it's still running
  • When starting a new count make sure the document.cookie does not have any state saved in it, if it has, do document.cookie = '{"totalMessages":0,"totalCharacters":0}' to reset that or it will continue adding to that previous stat
