Questions about some activities which I doubt will be significant enough as extracurricular activities.
Answered

Extracurricular activities as name suggests is any activity I do besides my main course / classroom work . I learned some programming languages online , I spent alot of time on it like 10-15hrs every week for 8 weeks , the stuff I learnt I applied and made a discord bot , the bot is useful as it has calculator and reminder and several other commands like for images or gifs as by users' request . I spent all the nights of 2 months and still work on it every night because I genuinely enjoy it , the bot right now has got 12k users and I hope the no. of users increases with time . Can I include the online courses as part of ECA ? they did consume alot of time and not at all part of my school and can I include working on bot as ECA ? I enjoy it I do this constructive work everyday and spend time on it

You can definitely add stuff about making the discord bot in your ECs. Be sure to mention the number of users as it is very impressive in itself. As for the online course, I'd suggest you mention it in the Additional Info Section and not in the EC.

Very impressive I must say!
