No problem!

There isn't a discord server yet. That sounds like a good idea for the future :)

You're on the right track.

There is an helper method available with the Dispike object called .background. Based on your steps, you could probably have something like this.

async def pong(ctx: IncomingDiscordInteraction):
    
    followup_message = FollowUpMessages(bot, interaction=ctx)
    await asyncio.sleep(2)

    response_followup = DiscordResponse(content="pong")
    await follow_up_message.async_create_follow_up_message(response_followup)


@bot.interaction.on("ping")
async def ping(ctx: IncomingDiscordInteraction) -> DiscordResponse:
    response = DiscordResponse(content="pong")


    # background 
    bot.background(pong, ctx)

    return response

I wouldn't use time for anything in an async function, but if you could probably use it if you replace async_create_follow_up_message with sync_create_follow_up_message.

I should write some documentation about this..

bot.background still requires to be awaited, and if I await it I just get the same result.

Ah, I see what you mean. I'll push an update to fix this behavior for .background..

Just pushed version 0.9.0a..

Testing with this example

async def later_pong(time_recieved, interaction: IncomingDiscordInteraction):
    now_time = datetime.datetime.now()
    time_diff = (now_time - time_recieved).total_seconds() * 1000

    _followup_object = FollowUpMessages(bot, interaction=interaction)
    await asyncio.sleep(10)

    pong_message  = DiscordResponse(show_user_input=False)
    pong_message.content = f"Pong: {time_diff}ms"
    await _followup_object.async_create_follow_up_message(pong_message)


@bot.interaction.on("ping")
async def ping(ctx: IncomingDiscordInteraction) -> DiscordResponse:
    await bot.background(later_pong, datetime.datetime.now(), ctx)

    logger.info("sending response ?")
    return DiscordResponse(
        content="Ping: ..."
    )
