Request to join the "is_tommy" channel has timed out. Make sure the channel exists

[jacob_mine]

Hi,
thank you for your time.
I am trying to create a twitch bot in python, but it does not work.

I have created a new twitch account.
I get the token OAUTH from: [https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ ]
And created an Application with the same account: [https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps]

This the code:

from twitchio.ext import commands


class Bot(commands.Bot):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            irc_token='oauth:j34mzck5qg0bp4yrr4psqmky3w****', 
            client_id='bagdjrygkedjfgq7jyadnk2ysb****', 
            nick='commandsbot',
            prefix='!',
            initial_channels=['#is_tommy'])

bot = Bot()
bot.run()

and the error:

exception=TimeoutError('Request to join the "is_tommy" channel has timed out. Make sure the channel exists.')

I have tried other channels’ names, but those don’t work either.
Any idea of what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Are you using the oAuth token for commandsbot ?

@jacob_mine

I have created a new twitch account.

Is commandsbot a Twitch account you control?

It shows as created in 2015
