Uhh, yeah that's impossible, especially with the 2 repro steps you've provided. If you're using something akin to pm2, nodemon, etc, that is outside of discord.js's realm and there's nothing we can do to "fix" what isn't even a bug.

Maybe there's more info you forgot to give us? Follow up if so

I'm using pm2 but without watch mode (I haven't tried without pm2 yet) and it doesn't restart other projects, it only restarts djs bots with sharding (it doesn't restart if u arent sharding). I'll try to make a repro and also see if it restarts without pm2

Re-open if this still exists/you can provide more minimal repro steps.
