Noxyr and Top.gg: Voting, the /vote Command and Custom Bot Access
The Top.gg integration in Noxyr is voting. A vote for Noxyr on Top.gg opens the Custom Bot setup page for 12 hours, which is also how often Top.gg lets you vote. It does nothing else: every other Noxyr feature is free with no vote, and there are no member vote rewards.
What the integration does
Top.gg is a public bot list where people can vote for and review bots. Noxyr links to its own Top.gg page from the /vote command. When you vote, the Custom Bot feature (your own bot name and avatar, hosted for you) is opened for 12 hours.
That is the whole connection. Tickets, store, invoices, security, giveaways and the rest never require a vote. Noxyr also does not hand out roles or rewards to members who vote for it on behalf of a server.
The /vote command
Run /vote anywhere Noxyr is present. It replies with a link to vote and review Noxyr on Top.gg, a button for the same link, and a Top voters button with the vote leaderboard. It reminds you that Top.gg allows one vote every 12 hours. It does not show your personal countdown. The dashboard's Custom Bot page does.
Whose account and what is shared
You vote with your own Top.gg account, which uses its own login on Top.gg. Noxyr never asks for your Top.gg password. The vote is tied to you, and the Custom Bot page shows two live countdown clocks: one for the access window and one for the grace period.
How the 12-hour window works
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| No vote yet | Custom Bot setup is locked. |
| Vote window (12 hours) | You can create a custom bot, and an existing one keeps running. |
| Grace period (74 hours) | The bot keeps running, but the Custom Bot page locks until you vote again. |
| Grace over | The bot goes offline and its commands are removed from the server. Nothing is deleted. One more vote switches everything back on. |
A reminder DM arrives 24 hours after your last vote, which is 12 hours into the grace period, with a countdown to when the bot will go offline. Voting roughly every three and a half days keeps a custom bot online, since a fresh vote before grace ends replaces the window without wasting time you already had.
Use it to start a custom bot
- Vote. Run
/voteand follow the link to Top.gg. - Open the Custom Bot page on the dashboard for your server.
- Create a Discord application in the Developer Portal, set the avatar and turn on the Server Members Intent and Message Content Intent.
- Reset the token on the Bot tab and paste it into the Custom Bot page. Never share a token with anyone.
- Pick a host and start the bot. Then use the invite link the page gives you.
Keep Noxyr in the server, because the custom bot uses Noxyr's settings. The details are in the custom bot docs and the vote guide.
Transferring your window
The person who votes and the person who owns the custom bot can differ. From the Custom Bot page you can transfer your remaining window to another Discord user by their user ID, either all of it or a set number of hours. The hours are added on top of what they already have. Only an active window can be transferred, and transfers under five minutes are refused. Both accounts get a DM.
What it cannot do
- It cannot give members rewards or roles for voting. There are no member vote rewards.
- It cannot replace a vote with a purchase. The optional Donor plan is a separate option: a custom bot on that plan never needs votes. See the custom bot page.
- It does not lock any module behind a vote.
Troubleshooting
The Custom Bot page is still locked after voting
Check that you voted with the account you expect and that 12 hours have not already passed. The dashboard clocks show the exact state.
The bot went offline
The grace period ran out. Vote again, and it comes back with its token, settings, tickets, products and invoices as they were.
You cannot vote yet
Top.gg allows one vote every 12 hours. Try again when the timer ends.
Why Noxyr links to Top.gg
Votes on a public bot list help other server owners find a bot, and Noxyr asks for them in exchange for hosting a custom bot for free. That is the one place a vote matters. For everything else, there is no need to vote, and no feature gets slower or weaker without one.
A simple routine
If you run a custom bot, set a reminder every three days or so, run /vote, press the link and vote. You will also get a reminder DM 24 hours after your last vote, with a countdown, so a forgotten vote is not a surprise. Check the dashboard's Custom Bot page when you want exact timing, because /vote itself does not show your personal countdown.
Next step
See the voting docs for every detail, and the custom bot page for what you get.
Common questions
What does voting for Noxyr on Top.gg do?
A vote opens the Custom Bot setup page for 12 hours. Nothing else requires a vote: tickets, store, invoices, security and giveaways are all free.
Do my members get rewards for voting for Noxyr?
No. There are no member vote rewards. A vote only matters for the Custom Bot feature.
What happens when my vote window ends?
A 74-hour grace period starts where the bot keeps running but the Custom Bot page locks. If grace runs out, the bot goes offline but nothing is deleted, and one more vote switches it back on.
Can I give my vote time to someone else?
Yes. On the Custom Bot page, transfer your remaining window by Discord user ID, all of it or a set number of hours. Only an active window can be transferred.
How often can I vote?
Top.gg allows one vote every 12 hours, which matches the length of the window a vote gives.
