* Numbers update every 10 minutes. Discord only lets a channel be renamed about twice in 10 minutes.
* They're locked voice channels. Everyone can read them, nobody can join.
* You can rename or move the category.
* Newt needs **Manage Channels**.
* Up to 3 counters, or 8 with [Premium](/help/premium).
* There are no commands for counters.

**Permission:** Dashboard access (Manage Server)
