如何每 10 秒发送一条消息 discord.js？

Question

I am trying to send a message every x amount of seconds in a discord.js bot. I know how to do this put the problem I am having is that it is spamming messages even when I have slowmode enabled. How can I fix this?

client.on('message', message => {
if (message.content === '$ww) {
      let count = 0;
      let ecount = 0;
      for(let x = 0; x < 9000; x++) {
        message.channel.send(`hy`)
          .then(m => {
            count++;
          })
          
        }
      }
});

You can use setInterval() to repeat your function every X milliseconds. For example:

setInterval(() => {
 message.channel.send(`hy`).then(() => count++);
}, 10000);

 setInterval(() => console.log('hey'), 1000)

The code you've provided is spamming because it is not waiting 10 seconds; it is counting from 0 to 9000 and for every count, it sends the message 'hy', so it quickly spams 9000 'hy' messages.
