guild.members won't return the member count

[prsh11]

So I am trying to get the members inside a background task function. But I don't seem to get the correct count. Here is the code
I keep getting 0 as the member count

@loop(minutes=10)
async def reached_milestone(self):
        with sqlite3.connect('db.sqlite3') as db:
            cursor = db.execute("SELECT * FROM Milestones")
            values = cursor.fetchall()
            for value in values:
                guildid, members = value
                guild = await self.client.fetch_guild(guildid)
                print(len(guild.members))
                member_count = len(
            [member for member in guild.members if not member.bot])
                if member_count >= members:
                    channel = read_database(guild.id)
                    print(channel)

fetch_guild does not return member data. Use get_guild instead and this’ll work just fine (given that you have the members intent.

You can also member_count for an estimated member_count, it works pretty well with intents.member, or hopefully when prescence_count gets added(exists in api, but not in the actual library) then that too, soon
