Why does it need Manage Roles and Manage Channels?
Manage Roles is how a self-role button assigns a role, and Discord will only ever let it touch roles below its own in the list. Manage Channels is how a ticket button creates and closes the private channel. Every permission it asks for is listed on the pricing page next to the feature that needs it, and Administrator is not among them.
Can Chojio ban people on its own?
No. Raid Watch can pause new joins, slow the channels you choose or time out new arrivals for ten minutes, and each of those lifts by itself. Kicking and banning only happen when a person presses the button in Raid Recovery, after seeing exactly how many accounts it will affect, and only people with Manage Server can do that.
Do the buttons stop working when you ship an update?
No. Chojio never uses an in-memory component collector, so a button posted months ago still works after a restart. The handler is looked up by name at click time rather than being held open in one process’s memory.
What happens to my setup if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted. Anything over the Free limit becomes read-only and stops being posted until you are back within the limit or resubscribe. A ticket that is already open always runs to closure — the member with a live problem is not the person who cancelled.
What does a starter template change in my server?
Only what its preview lists, and only after you confirm. It adds roles, categories and channels and reuses any you already have with the same name; nothing is deleted or renamed. New roles arrive with no permissions, and a template can never grant anyone the power to ban, kick, manage roles, manage channels or change the server. If Discord refuses a step partway, Chojio removes what that install created.
Can I see or delete what Chojio stores?
Yes. Settings → Your data lists everything Chojio keeps for your server and how long each kind is kept, and someone with Manage Server can delete all of it from there. Any member can press My data on /help to see what Chojio holds about them. If Chojio is removed from a server, its data is deleted 30 days later. The privacy policy has the full detail.
Is Premium per server or per account?
Per server. The features are server configuration rather than personal perks, and per-member pricing would punish exactly the large servers that get the most out of it. Premium → Refer a server gives your server a free month each time a new server you refer subscribes, up to 12 a year.
Do I need this website to set anything up?
No. Everything is set up inside Discord, from /menu. This website is where you see your servers’ plans and upgrade or cancel, and Premium can be managed from /menu too.
How do I know Chojio is working right now?
The status page shows whether the bot is connected to Discord, from a heartbeat it sends every minute while it is.
