Make buttons officially become inactive after a certain period of time

Proposal

Make buttons officially become inactive on Discord's side, that is, when a button/select menu is not interacted with for a certain period of time, it becomes inactive and doesn't send an event to the bot. Say or month of whatever I don't really care.

Why?

This is so you don't receive old events from buttons when some idiot decides to look at channel history and randomly press a button. In some API libraries, they'll ignore the event, however you still received the event which is a waste of resources.

You can disable message components on your end. In fact you can even do it retroactively. When a user clicks an "old" button you can respond to the interaction by disabling the message components and no future users will be able to interact. Weather Discord disables it or the bot disables it Discord will have to send out a message_update event. So it really will only "waste" resources for the bot if the message components are not disabled. So the bot should handle it if needed. Additionally, some people may not want there message components to become inactive even after long periods of no usage.
