The bot will not require any discord permissions.


## How to use

Simply start invoking the slash command for this bot `/fuel time` or `/fuel usage` and fill in all the required parameters.

## Some users cannot use the bot?


### Permissions
Make sure the user has sufficient permission to execute **Application Commands** (`slash-commands` in earlier versions).
This permission can be used to restrict access to bots, but is usually enabled for @everyone by default

### User Settings
If the permissions are all set, but certain users are still not able to use slash-commands, the discord application might be setup incorrectly. Tell the affected user(s) to open their `user settings` and navigate to the `Text & images` section.

In the lower part of said settings page, you can find an option to toggle the usage of slash-commands.

Make sure the user has the permission to `Use Application commands`.
This is a recently introduced discord permission, and can control the access to bot commands.
By default `@everyone` is allowed to use `slash`-commands.
