You can't scan. Fix: I built luna_connect / xserver.frionode.online — generates BLOOM~ / LUNA~ session tokens via pairing code. Use that in SESSION env.</p></li> <li><p>WhatsApp bans: Not random. Caused by fast reactions + one account sending too fast in groups. Fix: REACT=false by default, queue reactions with BullMQ, and for bloombot I use triple instance rotation to spread load.</p></li> <li><p>Server overload: Luna logs, spawns Pokemon, watches statuses — kills small VPS. Fix: moved off free tiers to better server, added pm2 + Express dashboard on :3000 to monitor uptime.</p></li> <li><p>Upstash Redis limit: Free tier hits limit fast with usage tracking/caching. Fix: self-host Redis or use managed Redis with higher limit. Don't use local Mongo on VPS either, use Atlas.</p></li> </ol> <p>If you're on Baileys, ask anything. </p> <p>Stack: Node.js v18+, FFmpeg, MongoDB Atlas, Redis (self-hosted recommended), Docker optional.</p> <p>AMA if you're building on Baileys.
