Unable to use any other commands after making event to delete messages within a channel Discord.py

Question

I made a simple event to delete all messages with attachments within a channel and now commands within my bot are not working as intended

the event

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 if message.attachments and message.channel.id == 957450518463119400:
  await message.delete()
 if not message.attachments and message.channel.id == 957450518463119400:
  await message.send()

an example of a command that isn't working (not sending the "stop" message)

@client.command()
async def damndaniel(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send(f"stop")

there aren't any errors in terminal. as soon as I remove the event the example command is working fine

Try replace `ctx: commands.Context` to `ctx`. Normaly the first parameter for function of discord application command is `ctx` only. — Sorry for my bad English, Mar 30 '22 at 05:20

If you override the on_message() event, you need to add client.process_commands() to your event manually so it should be like this:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 if message.attachments and message.channel.id == 957450518463119400:
  await message.delete()

 if not message.attachments and message.channel.id == 957450518463119400:
  await message.send()
 
 await client.process_commands(message)
