ConnectionResetError when using commands.Bot.change_presence

[mak0226]

I recently added a cog on my bot which broke it. The cog has a lot of listeners, because it's for mod logs. Ever since I added the cog, my bot wouldn't run properly. Events wouldn't fire, and the bot wouldn't change it's status. The error I got when changing the status was this:

Ignoring exception in on_ready
Traceback (most recent call last):

ConnectionResetError: Cannot write to closing transport

I tried the following:

• Removing some events
• Not changing the bot status
• Switching tokens to another bot's

When I switched the token, it worked, but it wasn't the bot I'm trying to run it on. Has anyone else gotten this issue? I'm not 100% sure, but it might be a ratelimit of some sort. Thanks in advance :)

Are you doing anything in the on_ready event? If so, don't. Use BaseActivity in your bot's constructor to set your bot's status.

I tried removing it from the event, but then on_ready never triggered (I waited 15+ mins)

You shouldn't use change_presence in your on ready event.
Discord will most likely disconnect you during the READY or GUILD_CREATE events, this is unavoidable.

You should put it in your constructor instead.

What's your on ready code?

What's your on ready code?

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_ready(self):
    print(f"Online as {self.client.user}")
