Impact and severity

Severity no other good alternative except to have this work or do a manual /new
Affected: channels
Frequency: always
Context grows until compaction, I have the bot doing a write to memory before midnight, and then this should do the /reset.

Additional information

I have not had this working, and I added that session.reset several weeks back.
