Summary

Reproduction Steps

for x in text_channel_list:
        try:
            channel = bot.get_channel(x)  # gives me the name of the channel
            print(channel)
            await channel.send(message)  # bot for some reason this does not work
        except Exception as e:
            failed_channels.append(str(x))
            print(e)

This is not a bug with the library. Please see the recently added intents documentation and v1.5 changelog.

For further help specific to using this library, you should join either the official discord.py server or the Discord API server, as the README recommends.

This issue doesn't have enough information to be actionable. Not using intents also means the get_channel call would fail.

Thanks, using Intents fixed the issue.
