Unconnect bot from chat

I discovered, and I think it was Barry or another person that pointed it out to me, that you at times have to send a PING yourself. For example, I found with a bot that I work on, that if users run it from the Azure Cloud, that it times out well before Twitch sends a PING. Have you tried implementing a PING yourself more frequently? This is precisely what I had to do in some instances.
