Good evening,

I am currently trying to programm a discord music bot based on an 1-year-old tutorial. As seen below my code includes some coroutines that need to be awaited, however I get the error that my coroutines could not be awaited. Since I am not very familliar with coroutines I hope someone here knows more about them and can help me:
General informations:
IDE: Thonny
python-version: 3.11.5
os: Windows 10

Further information:
I set the token in terminal before running the file

In my main file I try to run the other files that include the coroutines like this:
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", intents = intents) bot.add_cog(music_cog(bot))
The music_gog file looks like this:

class music_cog(commands.Cog): def __init__(self, bot): self.bot = bot self.is_playing = False self.is_paused = False self.music_queue = [] self.YDL_OPTIONS = {"format": "bestaudio", "noplaylist" : "True"} self.FFMEPG_OPTIONS = {"before_options" : "-reconnect 1 -reconnected_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5", "options" : "-vn"} self.vc = None
and includes serveral coroutines like:

 @commands.command(name = "pause", help = "Pause the current song") async def pause(self, ctx, *args): if self.is_playing: self.is_playing = False self.is_paused = True await self.vc.pause() elif self.is_paused: self.is_playing = True self.is_paused = False await self.vc.resume()

However I get that error message:
RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'BotBase.add_cog' was never awaited
bot.add_cog(music_cog(bot))


I will attach my files below, feel free to ask me for further information

Thanks in advance
