User premium and server premium

You buy one subscription. It is attached to your Discord account, and it never upgrades a server by itself. To upgrade a server you spend one of the premium server slots that the subscription gives you.

This is why someone can pay for Platinum and still see a locked card on a dashboard: the subscription is real, the slot was simply never spent there.

What the subscription does for you

These follow your account into every server you are in, whether or not that server has Premium:

• Vote prompts stop. Commands in the vote or Premium group run for you without asking you to vote.
• Saved playlists. 3 on a free account, unlimited from Silver upward. See playlists.
• Premium server slots: 2 on Silver, 4 on Gold, 6 on Platinum.
• Custom bot slots: 1 on Platinum, and you can buy more as an extra. See setting up a custom bot.
• A supporter role on the FlaviBot support server.

What a slot does for a server

Spending a slot on a server upgrades that server for everyone in it. The members do not need their own subscription, and they do not need to vote.

A server with Premium gets, among other things:

• The music settings free servers cannot save at all: 24/7 mode, a default volume, default songs, a default playlist, a default autoplay mode, a default queue loop, auto shuffle, a shorter inactive disconnect timeout, a custom controller image and footer, and Smart Bot Routing. Filters are not one of these: /filter sits in the vote-or-Premium group, so it works on a free server for a member who voted, and premium simply removes the prompt.
• Much higher caps everywhere: queue length, autoresponders, ticket panels, embed messages, level role rewards, counting channels, server log channels, and the rest of the table.
• Options that are simply absent on a free server: invite alerts, the advanced giveaway settings, form branding and CSV export, per-role XP multipliers, a custom XP rate.
• Server Stats beyond the last 14 days.

The server's plan is the buyer's plan

A server does not have a plan of its own. Its level is read live from the subscription of the person who activated it.

Two consequences worth knowing:

• If you upgrade from Silver to Gold, every server you activated becomes Gold immediately. You do not re-activate anything.
• If your subscription ends, those servers stop being premium, and their entries are cleared from your list. Subscribing again means activating them again.

One activation per server

A server holds a single activation, made by a single person. If someone else already activated it, your own attempt answers This server is already premium, and the person who did it is the only one who can remove it. There is no way to stack two subscriptions on one server to get a higher tier.
