At the moment, the ID of 19 digits, but before it was of 18. Does this mean that even earlier it was 5 characters, for example. And does this id increase by one or is y chosen randomly? If with each account the number increases by 1, then why is the number so large? I doubt that there are a quintillion of accounts in the discord
