Cant stop loop

[mrracoonman]

I'm trying to create a loop to set an announcement every so often and not have to worry about sending it every 30 min or so. I managed to get my bot to loop it, but I can't stop the loop.
This is what I have to create the loop, but what would I use to stop it?

@bot.command()
async def loop(ctx, arg):
while True:
await ctx.send(f'{arg}')
await asyncio.sleep(1800)

@bot.command()
async def loopinfo(ctx, arg):
bot.loop.create_task(loop(ctx, arg))

Win 10, python 3.8.6

asyncio.loop.create_task doesn't just schedule a Task - it returns one. Set it to a variable and call its cancel method.

On top of this you probably don't want to make that function a command -- it's superfluous and allows someone to run this function through Discord.

Is there any way for you to provide an example so I can better understand what you mean?
