I'm trying to create a discord commander that will lock a discord group so that even if my main account gets kicked out of the group, my bot takes over and adds itself, so that the group stays locked indefinitely.

but the “use_temp_bot_lock” function doesn't want to work it gives me the “missing acces” error which normally happens when the bot isn't in the group, but I'm sure the bot is in the group because I checked that the token was the right one and that even after I got kicked out of the group the bot that was supposed to take over was there too.

so I find myself asking for your help

here is my code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import asyncio
import asyncio
spam_lock = {}
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", self_bot=True)

TOKENS = [

    "MTIyNDQ3OTMxNTc1MjI5MTA2OA.***********************************", # VALID TOKEN
]

def get_alternate_token():
    for token in TOKENS:
        yield token

token_generator = get_alternate_token()

async def use_temp_bot_lock(token, friend, channel_ctx):
    temp_bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", self_bot=True)
    async def temp_bot_main():
        result = None

        @temp_bot.event
        async def on_ready():
            nonlocal result
            async def monitor_user_lock():
                try:
                    while True:
                        await channel_ctx.edit() # HERE IT SAY "MISSING ACCES"
                        actual_member_count = len(channel_ctx.recipients) + (1 if bot.user not in channel_ctx.recipients else 0)
                        current_recipient_ids = [user.id for user in channel_ctx.recipients]
                        if actual_member_count < 10:
                            if friend.id not in current_recipient_ids:
                                try:
                                    await channel_ctx.add_recipients(friend)
                                except Exception as e:
                                    print(f"{friend.id}: {e}")
                        await asyncio.sleep(1.3113)
                except Exception as e:
                    print(e)
                    await temp_bot.close()

            task_lock = bot.loop.create_task(monitor_user_lock())
            spam_lock[channel_ctx] = task_lock

        await temp_bot.start(token)

    return await temp_bot_main()

@botmand()
async def lock(ctx):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    if isinstance(ctx.channel, discord.GroupChannel):
        channel_ctx = ctx.channel
        async def fetch_user(user_id):
            user = await bot.fetch_user(user_id)
            return user
        user = await fetch_user(1061247364112863322) # VALID USER ID
        if user:
            async def monitor_user_lock():
                try:
                    while True:
                        await ctx.channel.edit()
                        actual_member_count = len(ctx.channel.recipients) + (1 if bot.user not in ctx.channel.recipients else 0)
                        current_recipient_ids = [user.id for user in ctx.channel.recipients]
                        if actual_member_count < 10:
                            if user.id not in current_recipient_ids:
                                try:
                                    await ctx.channel.add_recipients(user)
                                except Exception as e:
                                    print(f"{user.id}: {e}")
                        await asyncio.sleep(1.3113)
                except Exception as e:
                    print(e)
                    new_token = next(token_generator)
                    await use_temp_bot_lock(new_token, user, channel_ctx)
                    
            task_lock = bot.loop.create_task(monitor_user_lock())
            spam_lock[ctx.channel] = task_lock

to specify I use python 3.12.0 and discord.py 1.7.3 (all the other import are in their last version) I am not against changing librarie for my self bot because discord.py deleted the functionality to create self bot in their librarie

in addition to what I put in my current code I tried to get the channel of the group with its id using get_channel AND fetch_channel and testing with a real discord bot and a self bot present in the group the 2 do not work and lead to either for the real bot: do not find the group or for the self bot present in the group: block the code when await bot.get_channel(id) / await bot.fetch_channel(id) is done (I still don't know why it's doing this now)
