How often can I rename discord channel's name?

Question

This is not a post about HOW to change channel's name (I know it).

I have an international server using several bots. And we all depend on UTC time (to coordinate through the world). So there was borned a solution to make a time-bot which will show current UTC-time in the dedicated channel nobody can visit. And yes, precision is necessary, even seconds.

I created a voice channel with permissions not to join for @everyone. Everything worked fine, it updated every 1000 ms. Then (after several months of good work) something was broke, it started updating incorrect. I've increased update interval up to 5000 ms and it have started to work fine... until yesterday.

Now it doesn't work anymore. Even if I increase interval much more. It works sometimes I don't really know what the interval is, it's huge and unpredictable.. the time-bot is broken for now and cannot be used anymore in that case.

Is there any restrictions for updating channel name? I can't find any information about this in available documentations.

Client.setInterval(() => {
  const { h, m, s } = getTime();
  channel.edit({ name: `${getClockEmoji({ h, m })} UTC: ${h}-${m}-${s}` }).catch((err) => console.log(err));
}, updateInterval);

Providing data is correct, 'cause I send it to console and it updates as good as I need in interval I set. But channel name not updates that often..

Does discord filter too often update requests?

discord.js version is v.12.2.0
