Description
The Discord typing indicator ("Xavier Clawdius is typing...") persists indefinitely after the agent has finished sending its message. The indicator stays visible to the user for 10+ minutes and does not clear on its own. This has been observed multiple times across different channels in the same Discord guild.
Reproduction Steps
- Send a message to the agent in a Discord channel
- Agent processes and delivers its response
- Observe: the "is typing..." indicator remains active after the message is delivered
- The indicator does not self-clear — it persists until a gateway restart
Observed Behavior
- Typing indicator stays on indefinitely after message delivery
- Occurs in guild text channels (not DMs — untested there)
- Reproducible across multiple channels in the same session
- Has occurred on v2026.2.23 and v2026.2.24
Expected Behavior
The typing indicator should clear once the message is sent, or at minimum time out after Discord's standard ~10 second window.
Workaround
Gateway restart (openclaw gateway restart) clears the stuck indicator immediately.
Environment
- OpenClaw v2026.2.24 (gateway app v2026.2.23)
- macOS 15.3 (arm64, Mac mini M4)
- Discord channel type: guild text channels
- Node.js v25.5.0
