can't get my discordbot to run. it worked in the past, but stopped working. it's job is to allow the user to check the status of a requested media download. any help would be greatly appreciated.

versions of discord.py 2.0 and above require the argument intents.
prefix = "$"
bot=commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefix, intents=discord.Intents.all())
Adding intents is must for the bot to work.
you can learn more about intents at https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intents.html?highlight=intents
