I am making a discord bot using discord.py and I am using an event loop for my borrow command, but when I run it it gives me a bunch of error codes. The error code said that the loop is already running, but I just bot the code.
Note: this is something wrong with discord.py package, not python itself.
code:
@tasks.loop(hours=24.0) async def debt_increase(): for user in coins.keys(): setdebt(user, getdebt(user)+(0.06*getdebt(user))) async def run_bot(): await client.run(Token) debt_increase.start() asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(run_bot()) Error code:
