Allow servers to track boost count for individual users
Unfortunately, it's currently impossible for servers to offer additional perks to users who donate more than one boost to a server.
Right now, the Boost Status screen shows server staff members how many boosts the server has and which users are currently boosting. However, it does not list how many boosts each booster is giving the server at a given time. If a user gives multiple boosts to a server, the server/audit log receives multiple boost messages, but after that, there's no way to know how many boosts they are giving if they cancel some but not all of their boosts. For example, I have 3 boosters giving 2 boosts each (6 boosts total) and one day it drops to 5--we still have 3 boosters but it's impossible to tell who is just boosting one now and should get lesser server perks. Therefore it's impossible for us to realistically offer additional server perks to members boosting multiple boosts because we are unable to personally confirm their boost count long-term.
There's a very easy solution to this, which is to add functionality that allows servers to see not just who is boosting but how many boosts users are giving. This will allow servers to offer additional perks to users giving more than one boost, making it easier for servers to retain boosts and increasing incentive to purchase boosts on Discord overall.

OOH, that is a REALLY great idea... there "is" a way to do so by seeing the boosts channel and seeing how many messages from [...] user boosts, but that's not practical, and we want something practical. upvote :)

This is possible if Discord makes the premium subscription API public to bots and also possibly even display them on the new server insights page.
On my server I have set up a bot with commands to allow boosters to create their own custom roles and change the name and colour of it whenever they want to. Currently because I am unable to know how many times someone boosts, I can't extend the time of their custom role according to the number of times they boost. Instead I have to reward all boosters in the same way and remove their custom role as soon as they stop boosting.
However, Discord won't publicise their API for individual server boosts as they are worried that server owners might become too fixated with it.
I can see how this could possibly start forming arguments, such as; If a server holds a giveaway or someone gifts someone nitro but agreed on terms such as the person who receives the boost must boost a specific server twice. However, instead of keeping both boosts boosting the server, they transfer one of their boosts to another server such as their own.
However this generally should not be the case, and if it were, then it allows those who gift a nitro to help boost a specific server to know if their gift terms have been abused in anyway and to know if they are worthy of receiving another sponsored boost. I see many benefits out of this, and the benefits out-way the possible drawbacks, and anyways I believe that boosters should get what they pay for, even if it means giving them that extra appreciation.

The only way I can think of doing this is by asking people who are using double boost perks to show you their boost subscription page, where it shows you what servers your boosts are subscribed too. Personally I don't want to have to ask people to do this every 7 or so days because it is possible to send the same picture over and over, unless you pester them to include a unique *something* in each photo to differentiate them all.

Please discord, catch up to what your users who are bringing in money for you need! This is such an important feature that I can't believe it hasn't been implemented yet. People who boost, but then transfer it 7 days later are making it impossible to offer perks to members who donate more.

After such a long time of waiting for such a simple function, I have the impression that discord has no respect for people who pay for improvements, and they don't care if they will receive any bonuses.

This should really be a thing. Especially as it's a paid service.
