Usually this kinda of thing happens when the token is wrong or it gets changed or the bot permissions on the server change too. Did you verifiy if the token you are using is the same as the one on the discord developer portal? Other than that you will have to debug your code to find out what is happening.

Checking Server Authorization: One reason your bot may not be working as expected could be due to server authorization issues. This section will guide you through the process of checking server authorization settings and ensuring your bot has the necessary permissions to function correctly.
Check that your sound/audio or webcam/video/graphic card drivers and software are fully up to date! Plug your headset/headphones/webcam into all other USB or audio ports on your computer and see if there's a difference with a new port! Scan your device for any potential viruses and clear the viruses if found.

Why can't I add bots to my Discord server? You might not be able to invite bots to a Discord server if you don't have 'Manage Server' permission. You can request the server admin to give you permission to add bots from 'Server Settings -> Roles -> Manage Server'.
If a Discord bot is offline, then it won't function. That's it. Wherever the bot is hosted, isn't turned on or isn't running the code for the bot. It can't read any messages; it can't respond.
Discord also has the same problems that any social media network has: human interactions. Cyberbullying and harassment take place on Discord as much as they do on any other site where strangers are able to communicate without having to use their real names.
If you want to add a bot to a Discord server, you must be an administrator of that server. Users with permissions less than administrator won't be able to add bots to the server.
