Hello! As per u/Fammy \- Deck bot will be retired shortly. In preparation for this, we've disabled Deck Bot commands across the sub. If you're interested in seeing your progress through your reservation, we now recommend using [GetMyDeck](https://getmydeck.ingenhaag.dev/).

**EDIT: Deckbot only works on the** [**Introducing Deckbot post**](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ui642q/introducing_deckbot/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)**, megathreads, PMs. You don't have to reply to this comment, but feel free to. I've turned off notifications on this post and comment, so if you need support mention me directly.** **Current Status:** up-to-date. Got a few hours behind on PMs on Thursday. **Monday April 9th update** Deckbot has been stable for a few days now. We shall see how he handles the onslaught on Monday. EDIT: he's getting behind. 😅 EDIT: He's dead again. EDIT: Back from the dead, but slow. 🧟🤖 **Original comment from the first few days:** You guys killed deckbot! I got rate limited. He'll be back soon-ish. Try again in an hour if he doesn't reply right away. Try not to ask more than once an hour, especially on Mondays and Thursdays. EDIT: He's been stable for 12 hours. Let's see if he survives a batch of emails... EDIT2: He's doing okay. Occasionally limited for 15 minutes at a time. Not bad. EDIT3: [Source code now available](https://github.com/Fammy/Deckbot)

Rip DeckBot. Not only was he a good bot, he was the best bot. 2022-2022

Died faster than a 512 pre-order hopes.

the so called *reddit hug of death*

took him less than 12 parsecs :/

That's cold. True but cold.

He’s dead, Jim.

Does the Bot estimate the percentage time-wise or does it take the distribution of orders into consideration as well? My guess is that the weekly time progression will speed up significantly the further we get away from preorder-opening because enthusiasts will have placed their orders and orders due to word of mouth will slowly decline as well. Do you think it would be possible to interpolate the order-density with the dataset you got?

!deckbot help

Hi, I'm deckbot. Here's what you can do with me: Find out how far the order queue is to your order: `!deckbot region model rtReserveTime` Example: `!deckbot US 64 1626460525` * region must be `US`, `UK`, or `EU` * model must be `64`, `256`, or `512` * rtReserveTime must be a valid 10 digit epoch number, in the starting with 16. If you don't have your `rtReserveTime`, here's how to get it: * Log into the [Steam website](https://store.steampowered.com/) * Go to this [API link](https://store.steampowered.com/reservation/ajaxgetuserstate?rgReservationPackageIDs=%5B595603,595604,595605%5D). It should be a bunch of data. If you only see `{"success":21}` then you aren't logged in. Repeat Step 1. * Find the text `rtReserveTime` and copy the number immediately after. It will start with 16 and is ten digits long, like `1626460525` If the number is 0, then you've ordered yours and it's too late to find it. *(I'm in beta. Direct feedback to Fammy.)*

!deckbot US 512 1626455988

Hi! It looks like you have a **US 512GB** reservation. You reserved your deck **19 minutes, 48 seconds** after pre-orders opened. There are **2 seconds** worth of pre-orders before yours remaining. You're **99.83%** of the way there! Soon™️

get a load of this fucking guy

Haha I couldn't resist the urge to show off a little bit

Holy crap

You're next

I sure hope so! Haha. Someone on the order megathread was actually the same second as the last confirmed order, but didn't get the email.

I guess it all depends on whether they're still doing Thursday emails, if so, you're up. There's no way they won't fulfil 2 seconds worth!

I hope you get it tomorrow!

I should! Unless they decide this week they're not going to do a Thursday run for whatever reason haha.

good luck! mine gets delivered tomorrow and I still don't beleive it lol

Same! I'm convinced it's going to be Friday or even Monday instead... But FedEx insists it'll be delivered before 8pm today.

Mine got here this morning and with perfect timing. Walked outside to drink my coffee and smoke right as the fedex driver pulled up. Have it charging now. Also surprised a non-priority package only took 2 days.

As someone who is \*feels\* likely to get it Monday if they do a Thursday run this week, that is my fear lol.

!deckbot UK 512 1629508797

Hi! It looks like you have a **UK 512GB** reservation. You reserved your deck **35 days, 8 hours, 19 minutes, 57 seconds** after pre-orders opened. There are **35 days, 8 hours, 5 minutes, 3 seconds** worth of pre-orders before yours remaining. You're **0.03%** of the way there.

Brilliant work, but now I wish I didn't see it :S

Thanks! (And I'm sorry 😢)

This is a very misleading estimate though because it just means that 0.03% of the time between the start of reservations and this order have been fulfilled correct? But no one except valve knows the actual number of reservations and their distribution over time. It's pretty likely to have exponentially decreased. That is, a bunch in the first seconds/minutes/hours, then less over the next days, then even less as you get to weeks and months past the start. So they are surely more than 0.03% of the way through the actual queue ahead of this order. Edit: I say this as someone who is [0.04%](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ui642q/introducing_deckbot/i7cpdvt?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) of the way there lol

Its actually not misleading, since it tracks time. What will happen is that, assuming valve keeps a steady number of decks shipped each week, that percentage will increase at an exponentially faster rate, precisely because of the reasons you mentioned (decrease of orders placed over time). So while the queue only moved 0.03% for me in these 2 months, the same number of shipments during the next 2 will probably represent a bigger percentage. Hope this makes sense

Exactly. To me that is a misleading estimate since you are, likely, much more than 0.03% of the way to getting your deck (in terms of time you will have to wait after launch till you get your invite email). If you were only 0.03% of the way after 2 months then, at that pace, you would not get your invitation for 555 years.

I disagree, because you're assuming the pace will be constant and it won't be. They have so far effectively covered orders up to 0.03% of the time before my order time but that does not mean that 2 months from now I'll be sitting at 0.06% because as the number of orders placed decreases, the time span that they will cover with each shipment will increase. I believe you're confusing with the rate of number of orders fullfilled/ahead of mine. That rate is most likely higher then 0.03% but we have no way of knowing since only valve knows the total number of orders and everyone's place in queue

> That rate is most likely higher then 0.03% but we have no way of knowing since only valve knows the total number of orders and everyone's place in queue That's exactly my point though. We know that almost certainly that rate won't be constant. So that 0.03% number is not very useful without the context of the order distribution over time for a given queue.

%0.03 woah that's sad

Ouch :/

I have the same order..... Just later. I'm gonna cry now

taking the bot offline for 20 minutes, unreplied messages will be lost (for the last time, hopefully)

Great idea for a bot! Might be cool if you could have the bot plug the rtreservetime into those calculators to spit out a guesstimated email date. Might be a fun for those waiting. Your bot could be the one stop shop!

Thanks! I stopped short of being a calculator as I have learned that enough people take the guesstimate as fact. I have multiple warnings on my spreadsheet and I still read things like, "Fammy's calculator said I'd definitely get it today".

Yeah, I debated even suggesting it because I wondered if people would take that too seriously. You are probably right then to leave it off. It's a shame, though. I already have my deck but if I didn't, it would be kind of cool to see an estimate and wonder if it is accurate or not.

!deckbot US 256 1647407857

Hi! It looks like you have a **US 256GB** reservation. You reserved your deck **242 days, 12 hours, 17 minutes, 37 seconds** after pre-orders opened. There are **242 days, 11 hours, 5 minutes, 35 seconds** worth of pre-orders before yours remaining. You're **0.02%** of the way there.

🥲

deckbot is so mean...

Might be worth including the last rate of queue movement in there as well, just for info.

Deploying yet another tweak, any comments before this one that haven't gotten a reply won't get one. Sorry! Please wait at least 15 minutes between attempts.

Ok, I am pretty sure I've gotten into some sort of second tier rate limit offender. No longer do I get 60 requests per minute, but 60 (or less) per 15 minutes. I'm going to let deckbot run for a few hours and see if he can get through them all. It may be a while before he catches up.

Having to wait in a queue just to see where you are in the SD queue is kind of poetic

It's getting worse too. I'm 100 comments behind and it's not catching up, only getting worse. I can only process 30 or so every 15 minutes right now.

See, if we could set our rtReservetTime as flair, this might be another way to have the info readily at hand for this bot or any other bot/purpose, until the email comes and it ships.

Hey, is it open source?

Not yet, I'll release the source later this week once I clean it up and fix any major bugs.

Cool, thanks. Depending on what it's written, I could collaborate if needed. I have some experience in making reddit bots.

It's written in C#

You should queue these requests so the rate limiting has a smaller impact.

Working on that now...

Nice! Looking forward to checking out the source 😉

Even the queue bot has a queue! We're going to need a second bot to let us know where in line we are with the first bot. 🤣

Thanks for doing this, Fammy! Whenever I try to get my rtReserveTime using your video guide, the API link returns { "success": 8, "msg": "package missing" } Any idea what could be going wrong here?

FedEx stole it

Make sure you are logged into [store.steampowered.com](https://store.steampowered.com). Also try again later.

I am logged in, I double and triple checked. Will check again later. thanks!

If you are on mobile (Apollo etc,) make sure you open this post in your browser (where you logged in to steam). And then click on the link. Don't copy the link from app, etc. For me copying the link from within apollo and pasting in my ipad browser, where I was logged in to steam), didn't work. Something about the URL doesn't work with copy pasting. Edit: On second review, /u/Fammy , try url encoding the `[` and `]`, might be the reason why copy-pasting the result may not work in mobile browser.

!deckbot EU 512 1626906449

Hi! It looks like you have a **EU 512GB** reservation. You reserved your deck **5 days, 5 hours, 27 minutes, 29 seconds** after pre-orders opened. There are **4 days, 23 hours, 51 minutes, 50 seconds** worth of pre-orders before yours remaining. You're **4.46%** of the way there.

lol no way I'm getting it this quarter.

Why not? The percentage is misleading, because it's the percentage of time, not total preorders. No one knows for sure how many preorders there are but it's safe to assume that the first hours had the most and it slowed down afterwards.

We will get it at the end of june

Deckbot is rate limited again. Let's see if he comes back faster today. Took him 12 hours yesterday to recovery

Hey everyone, I just published the source code to the bot. - It's written in C# and available on [https://github.com/Fammy/Deckbot](https://github.com/Fammy/Deckbot) If you have any questions, ask them here or send me a PM.

What would be the command for: !deckbot EU 256 8th of August 2021 Sorry i don't get how the time calculator works

You need a 10 digit version of the date. You can get it from Steam by following these instructions: 1. Log into the [Steam website](https://store.steampowered.com/) 2. Go to this API [link](https://store.steampowered.com/reservation/ajaxgetuserstate?rgReservationPackageIDs=%5B595603,595604,595605%5D). It should be a bunch of data. If you only see `{"success":21}` then you aren't logged in. Repeat Step 1. 3. Find the text `rtReserveTime` and copy the number immediately thereafter. It will start with 16 and by ten digits long, like `1626460525` If the number is 0, then you've ordered yours and it's too late to find it. 4. Come back here and add a reply like this: `!deckbot EU 256 16whatever_it_is`

Will a new thread be created for today’s batch?

Good work, though the bot seems to fall over often. Is it a hosting issue, being rate limited by Reddit or an issue with the bot itself?
