[FIXED] How to change the interval between two iterations in a task

Issue

I am making a discord bot, and I can't figure out a way to change the time interval for a task

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def auto_meme(self, ctx):
    await ctx.send(meme) #handled

@commands.command()
async def start_meme(self, ctx):
   await self.auto_meme.start()

I tried

async def auto_meme(self, ctx):
    await ctx.send(meme) #handled

@commands.command()
async def start_meme(self, ctx, args: convert_to_seconds = 10):
   self.auto_meme_instance = tasks.loop(args)(self.auto_meme)
   await self.auto_meme_instance.start(ctx)

But when I do this, I cannot cancel or stop the task.

Solution

You can simply use Loop.change_interval

auto_meme.change_interval(seconds=1)

Reference:

• Loop.change_interval
