Typing indicator stops after 10 seconds even with context manager

[TheAyes]

Hello!

I'm currently trying to create a typing indicator since I'm creating a discord bot with integrated AI and while generating the response I'd like it to indicate "typing".

In the on_message event I have this snippet here:

async with message.channel.typing():
	platform_message = await self.handle_raw_message(message)
	if self.orchestrator:
		await self.orchestrator.route_message(platform_message)

which supposedly (according to the docs atleast) is indicating "typing" for an indefinite amount of time. But even though I do this. The indicator still disappears after ~10 seconds.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

P.S.: Please let me know if you need additional information, I don't know how much one needs to see in order to resolve or understand this issue.

It's 10 seconds per request. You need to "block" the event loop for the amount of seconds you want it. Using await doesn't do that.

I know that you can use await asyncio.sleep(<seconds>) to make it longer, not sure about other ways.
