Hello guys, i used [twitch-js - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/twitch-js) library for my bot.

The bot works on a 1 large channel, something like 10k+ viewers.  
When i notice chat spam, i got problems.  
I have an moderation system, what check for caps, links, e.t.c.  
And, when chat start to be very fast, very `spammy`, bot doing much timeouts.  
Possible i need ask library devs, but may it be twitch limits? Also my bot is verifyed (not veryfied twitch partner, i mean my bot has a verifyed status)

I added additional .catch for `say()` and `timeout()` functions, and will wait for mine results, but maybe you can say me something new.

You should check RAW IRC messaging for NOTICES and other issues.

Everything in your log is library specific and not Twitch TMI related.
