I want to mute everybody in a voice channel changing the permission to speak, but when I do this it no sync with the category channel anymore.

cat = ctx.guild.get_channel(categorychannel)
everyone = ctx.guild.default_role
channel = await ctx.guild.create_voice_channel("test", category=cat)
await channel.set_permissions(everyone, speak=False)

So I'm trying to get the category channel permissions and set it to a voice channel, But for some reason it's not working.

cat = ctx.guild.get_channel(categorychannel)
everyone = ctx.guild.default_role
perm = cat.overwrites_for(everyone)
perm.speak = False
channel = await ctx.guild.create_voice_channel("test", category=cat)
await channel.set_permissions(everyone, overwrite=perm)

Can anyone help me?

The voice channel will not be in sync with the category because the permissions are not the same. So when you overwrite the speak permission with speak = False then it is no longer in sync with the category. If you sync permissions afterward you will overwrite the speak = False.

The second code you provided works as intended (as long as a category is found), it gets the permissions of the category, sets category permissions to the voice channel, sets speak = False, and then is no longer in sync with the category.

Trying to get it to work I moved the Bot file to my server and it's started working normally, I don't know why but it has, maybe the cache or some configs on my desktop. So the second code is right as @Lemon.py said. Here is the code.

cat = ctx.guild.get_channel(categorychannel)
everyone = ctx.guild.default_role
perm = cat.overwrites_for(everyone)
perm.speak = False
channel = await ctx.guild.create_voice_channel("test", category=cat)
await channel.set_permissions(everyone, overwrite=perm)

Thanks.
