title: How to change activity of a discord.py bot?
body: <p>I want to change the bot status from playing to watching. I've tried this but it's still playing status:</p>
  <pre><code>import discord
  from discord.ext.commands import Bot
  from discord.ext import commands
  import asyncio
  
  PREFIX = (&quot;$&quot;)
  bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description='Hi')
  
  @bot.event
  async def on_ready():
      activity = discord.Game(name=&quot;Netflix&quot;, type=3)
      await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=activity)
      print(&quot;Bot is ready!&quot;)
  
  bot.run('TOKEN')
  </code></pre>
