On/Off Toggle for Saving Call Bandwidth or Data (e.g. Auto-hang up)

In previous versions of Discord, private calls would auto-end after five minutes if you were the only user remaining in the call. This was great as you didn't have to worry about your computer or laptop staying on indefinitely should you accidentally fall asleep, not be able to reach your laptop at that moment, etc. The feature was unusually not present on the mobile version of Discord.

I understand this feature has now been removed entirely. However, I think it would be very useful for many different types of Discord user if it returned - but as an "On/Off" toggle feature instead, and across all device types.

This way, users who wish to remain in-call indefinitely without being bothered by repeated bot prompts can do so, while those who use portable devices such as laptops, tablets and phones can toggle this feature on to help save bandwidth or data on their device. I know I would find this particularly useful when travelling, or having conversations very late when I'm close to falling asleep, haha.

The feature could also include other 'in-call' bandwidth/data saving toggles as well; for example, the ability to toggle on/off whether you automatically start watching the other person's video camera or stream during a call (again to minimise the amount of data/bandwidth being used by Discord).

Thank you and I hope this feature might be considered. :)

I myself loved this about mobile, it makes long distance relationships or when I have to go away much more tolerable, I am appalled at the discord team now, not only for removing this but also failing to include it into any changelog or announcement.

first they change it from the former 5 minutes to the current 3 minutes now they're forcing auto disconnect

give us an option. either update and put an option in the settings or revert to how it used to be

I personally have a hypothesis that this is indeed because they sell data and or track calls (which they can do) and they don't want their agents to have to sift through hours of silence

-its not like you aren't attempting to sell our data anyways plus you'll make Tencent - nay - China happy they'll be able to track people by the sound of their snoring just a couple more years of data before the technology catches up
