Daily allowance
Allow something a number of times a day per member (a new day starts at midnight in a time zone), and say how many are left.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, daily allowance.”
/gift → Daily allowance 3 → If Allowed is off → Reply: no gifts left today.
What it does
Allow something a number of times a day per member (a new day starts at midnight in a time zone), and say how many are left. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep something between runs: allow something a number of times a day per member (a new day starts at midnight in a time zone), and say how many are left.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
