User presence status description not updated

[moerks]

Description:

When switching status from a custom status to one of the 4 predefined ones the description is not updated.
Same applies when editing the status message on the fly and then switching back to "online" for example.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a Custom Status -> yellow - description: "out for lunch"
2. Switch your Status to "out for lunch"
3. Switch your Status back to "online"

Expected behavior:

I'd expect my description to say "online"

Actual behavior:

Description is still "out for lunch" while the color changes from yellow to green.

This is by design. If you have a status that says "free cake in the break room" and have it set to busy, you will want to keep your status when you switch it to online.

If you want to change your presence back to online, just edit your status, clear it, and whatever your presence is set to will become your status.

You can also just type /status without any text and it will clear your status message. This works in mobile too.

EDIT: I fixed this.... I just read your issue again. You are probably hitting the rate limiter issue. There is a fix already but they have not released a new build with the fix. You are seeing this behavior because you are hitting a rate limit. See #14979 and #15001.
