A while ago I've noticed Discord using 8-10% of my CPU every time I open Task Manager. This doesn't really sound weird... Until you realize this is when my Discord client is NOT running (AKA after I fully exit out of it so it's not even present in the tray area on the right side of the taskbar). From what I can tell, it's using about 400MB of memory, no disk or network and about 8% of CPU (I have 6 cores/12 threads and that 8-10% seems to be distributed among all of them). It's possible it uses disk and network in short bursts after a long period of inactivity, but I havent spotted it doing that so far). If I were to kill Discord.exe in the task manager - it would go away and not come back until I restarted my computer. At first, I didn't think much of it - I thought maybe it's doing some background update or something, but it is constant, it doesn't go away unless I kill it. When I run Discord - another Discord entry appears in the task manager - the suspicious one seems unaffected. Both entries take me to the same file when I click "Open file location". The file seems normal and signed by Discord. What is going on here? Do you guys also have this going on or is it just me? I'm getting some really sus vibes ngl. I suspect a discord bug/unoptimized code, 3rd party malware or Discord itself secretly doing some malicious thing.

UPDATE: Multiple clean reinstalls haven't helped.

I've been logged into Discord for a while, but I came on ten minutes to check my notifications. One of the messages was a friend request, which I accepted.

A split second after I pressed Clyde's greeting feature, it logged me out of Discord on its own. I went to log back in and it asked me to re-verify my email address. I found it startling since Discord has known my email address for years.

I got in fine and everything seems to be where it was left after the last time I closed the site, but things like that make me wonder if I'm supposed to ask if something else is up. Did Discord think I spammed (it definitely didn't say so), was it a new development in routine, was it a glitch, etc. Protocol is unstatic on there which is why I ask.

Isn't your active developer badge supposed to be removed if your bot hasn't been used in 60 days? I have an account with an active developer badge and it has never been removed. The bot used to claim the badge hasn't be used for months, but I have never gotten a warning about the badge expiring on that account. I have another account with the badge and every 60 days I get a warning, so I know this isn't normal. Could my account be bugged or could it have something to do with the policy change for the badge?
