The Discord bot requests privileged intents
A mevcore app hosting error at the “start / health check” stage.
What it means
The bot asks for Message Content, Server Members or Presence intents that are not enabled.
The build passed, but the app did not start or did not answer the health check.
Typical causes
- The app does not listen on 0.0.0.0 and the port from the PORT variable
- An environment variable is missing, or the database or Redis is not connected
- The start command is wrong or the process exits right away
