Hello, I’m having issues when implementing my Twitch bot in Python.

My bot works fine at the beginning, along with all its commands, but after a while of running, it randomly fails.

the error its

C:\Users\nacho\OneDrive\Documentos\Streams\YummIA Python\> & E:/python.exe “c:/Users/nacho/OneDrive/Documentos/Streams/YummIA Python/Bot YuumIA.py”  
The channel “xxx” was unable to be joined. Check the channel is valid.

Task exception was never retrieved  
future: \<Task finished name=‘Task-382’ coro=\<WSConnection.\_join\_future\_handle() done, defined at E:\Lib\site-packages\twitchio\websocket.py:325\> exception=KeyError(‘xxx’)\>  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “E:\Lib\asyncio\tasks.py”, line 490, in wait\_for  
return fut.result()  
^^^^^^^^^^^^  
asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError

The channel is mine, it exists, and it works when running the bot. As I mentioned, the error occurs after a while of operation. What could be the cause? What would be a possible solution?
