Steps to Reproduce

Run

/role count ("Boss and McGill" AND "Clyde House") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Donner") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "E-Tower") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Hamerschlag") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Henderson") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Maggie Mo") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Morewood Gardens")

in the CMU 2030 server.

The bot should return the number of users with those specified roles. Instead, the bot gives "There was an error while executing this command!". ~~Logs show Error executing command: with nothing after the colon (this empty error message is from #230, so it may become clearer what the problem is once that is fixed)~~ See the comments below

A smaller expression, such as

/role count ("Boss and McGill" AND "Clyde House") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Donner") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "E-Tower") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Hamerschlag") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Henderson") OR ("Boss and McGill" AND "Maggie Mo")

works as intended.

Other test cases

/role count (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA) OR (CFA AND CFA)

/role count CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA OR CFA

Suspected Issue

~~The bot is probably timing out on cache lookups. Is this something we can improve?~~

~~Some ideas:~~

~~Don't make more than one call to the Discord cache for the same role~~
~~Make calls in "batches" to not hit the rate limit, with a deferral~~

~~If it's not feasible, we should give a different error message.~~

Originally, I wanted to run this massive command to conduct pairwise comparisons on dorm roles:
