Hmm. So you could regenerate the link every few hours? Probably enough to discourage casual use though.


There are many, many places where it would be impractical to regenerate and repost links frequently. Plus, regenerating a link would require a Discord API call, and they could easily rate-limit that or add anti-bot features, which would put a cap on how scalable an auto-refresher could be.

At some point it’d probably just be easier to create a service that generates the links on demand and caches them for their TTL. However, generating the links will probably require access to the Discord server where they’re posted.
