The Discord GatewayPlugin was configured with maxAttempts: Infinity,
which causes an unbounded reconnection loop when the Discord gateway
enters a persistent failure state (e.g. code 1005 with stalled HELLO).
In production, this manifested as 2,483+ reconnection attempts in a
single log file, starving the Node.js event loop and preventing cron,
heartbeat, and other subsystems from functioning.
Cap maxAttempts at 50, which provides ~25 minutes of retry time
(with 30s HELLO timeout between attempts) before cleanly exiting
via the existing "Max reconnect attempts" error handler.
Closes#11836
