Discord implements its own heartbeat mechanism. I've heard websocket-native ping is somehow unreliable. Maybe in case the websocket connection is fine but something happened at the application layer?

"Unreliable" is a bit harsh - the problem arises imho not from the websocket ping itself, but from the fact that client-side _and_ server-side need to support the ping/pong frames.
