Summary
Starting 2026-11-16, inaccessible channels will be obfuscated (when received via gw) or omitted entirely (via rest). While this doesn't have as many implications for the library as it does for bot developers, there are still a few things to add, namely:
ChannelFlags.obfuscated, plusGuildChannel.is_obfuscated()shorthandWhile these won't ever be obfuscated, there's also an
is_obfuscated() -> Literal[False]method onDMChannel,GroupChannel, andThreadfor compatibility.For testing purposes (well, at least for the gw part), obfuscation can be enabled for a bot in the dev portal.
