`/timeout`

Timeout a member for a while — they can’t chat, react or talk.

Needs Moderate Members Also !timeout Guide: Moderation commands

Uses Discord’s built-in timeout, so it ends by itself. Durations look like 10m, 2h, 1d or 1w, up to 28 days. The member gets a DM with the reason and the end time. Administrators and the server owner can’t be timed out — that’s a Discord rule.

How to use it

/timeout duration:<duration> [user] [user_id] [reason]

Option	Type	What it does
`duration` required	text	How long: 10m, 2h, 1d, 1w (max 28d)
`user`	member	Member to timeout
`user_id`	text	Or their user ID
`reason`	text	Reason (shown in the audit log and sent to the member)
