Can someone please help and tell whats wrong with the code

Answer 1

You are trying to call a coroutine inside a normal function. Use asyncio.run. To learn more about coroutines and tasks, you can refer to this link: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html.

The code snippet from above can be changed to:

import asyncio

@bot.message_handler(commands=['redeemcode'])
def get_code(message):
    code = bot.send_message(chatid, "Send the Code to Redeem")
    bot.register_next_step_handler(code, asyncio.run(claimcode()))
