Discord Bot takes long time on second execute

Question

I have a weird issue and I'll try to explain it as good as I can, so here we go,

I'm writing a Discord bot using Python. I made a command that can only be executed while a member is in a discord.VoiceChannel. It sends a message into a channel and edits the voice channel:

Event:

@bot.command(name="lft", pass_context=True)
async def lft_command(ctx):
    await lft.lft(ctx, bot)

First method (lft):

async def lft(ctx, bot):
    if ctx.channel == bot.get_channel(806109172336689162):
        dcUser = ctx.author
        if dcUser.voice is not None:
            if dcUser.voice.channel.category == bot.get_channel(809430391177084969).category:
                await methods.set_lft(dcUser, bot)
            else:
                await bot.get_channel(806112383693094942).send(
                    ctx.author.mention + ", you have to be in a temporary channel to use this command.",
                    delete_after=30)
        else:
            await bot.get_channel(806112383693094942).send(
                ctx.author.mention + ", you have to be in a temporary channel to use this command.", delete_after=30)
    else:
        await bot.get_channel(806112383693094942).send(
            ctx.author.mention + ", you can't use this command here, got to " + bot.get_channel(
                806109172336689162).mention, delete_after=30)

Second method(set_lft):

async def set_lft(executor, bot):
    channel = executor.voice.channel
    lft_channel = bot.get_channel(806109172336689162)
    user_role = await get_rank(executor)

    print("b")

    await channel.set_permissions(get(executor.guild.roles, id=806081402407092295), connect=False)
    print("c")
    await channel.edit(name="Looking for mates", user_limit=5)
    msg = await lft_channel.send(
        content=executor.mention + " is looking for teammates for ranked, he is " + user_role.name + ". Join a channel and react to the message to join the channel. There are currently " + str(
            len(executor.voice.channel.members)) + "/5 player in the channel.",
        delete_after=900)
    await msg.add_reaction('✅')
    lft_data[executor.id] = ["placeholder", msg, channel]
    lft_data[msg.id] = [executor, "placeholder", channel]
    lft_data[channel.id] = [executor, msg, "placeholder"]

If the member who executed the command leaves the voice channel, the voice channel gets changed back to a normal voice channel again:

async def set_casual(channel):
    msg = get_msg(channel)
    executor = get_executor(channel)

    await msg.delete()
    if len(channel.members) != 0:
        await channel.set_permissions(get(executor.guild.roles, id=806081402407092295), connect=True)
        await channel.edit(name=channel.members[0].nick + "'s channel", limit=None)
    [lft_data.pop(x, None) for x in [msg.id, channel.id, executor.id]]

and another user can execute the command, but if the command gets executed, it doesn't get called or takes like 5 minutes to execute. Is there a loop that runs too long, or doesn't stop at all?

Thank you in advance

You are getting rate limited. The issue, the only way to produce an error is buy adding a global cooldown to your command, or creating a new channel whenever someone uses the command.

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate=2, per=600) #bucketType defaults to global
@bot.command()
async def lft_command(ctx):
   # other stuff here

@lft_command.error()
async def lft_error(ctx, error): #handling cooldown errors
 if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
     await ctx.send("The command is on cooldown")
