# Gateway Connection and Reconnection
|
|
|
|
`GatewayClient` manages the library's WebSocket connection. When the connection drops unexpectedly, it will now automatically attempt to reconnect using an exponential backoff strategy with jitter.
|
|
|
|
The default behaviour tries up to five reconnect attempts, doubling the delay each time up to a configurable maximum. A small random jitter is added to spread out reconnect attempts when multiple clients restart at once.
|
|
|
|
You can control the maximum number of retries and the backoff cap when constructing `Client`.
|
|
These options are forwarded to `GatewayClient` as `max_retries` and `max_backoff`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
bot = Client(
|
|
token="your-token",
|
|
gateway_max_retries=10,
|
|
gateway_max_backoff=120.0,
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These values are passed to `GatewayClient` and applied whenever the connection needs to be re-established.
|
|
|
|
## Gateway Intents
|
|
|
|
`GatewayIntent` values control which events your bot receives from the Gateway. Use
|
|
`GatewayIntent.none()` to opt out of all events entirely. It returns `0`, which
|
|
represents a bitmask with no intents enabled.
