Bot executing the same command twice

Question

I am making a discord bot with the rewrite, but when my command runs, it sends the message twice There is 100% no other calls to send that message, and it is only the 1st message(Hold on, I'm gathering the data), that is sent twice. Here is the command's code:

    @bot.command()
    async def testcmd(ctx):
      print("called")
      msgtemp = await ctx.message.channel.send("Hold on, I'm gathering the data")
      print("sent")
      time.sleep(3)
      await msgtemp.delete()
      with open("fileofthings.txt") as fl:
        await ctx.send(fl.read())

Answer 1

I had the same issue with my bot sending responses twice, does this happen with this particular command or it happens with other commands as well.

My theory is that you are running 2 versions of the bot meaning you get 2 messages. I developed a shutdown command in case this happens to me again

This is my code for a shutdown command if you need it.

@commands.command()
  async def shutdown(self,ctx):
    if ctx.message.author.id == OWNERID: #replace OWNERID with your user id
      print("shutdown")
      try:
        await self.bot.logout()
      except:
        print("EnvironmentError")
        self.bot.clear()
    else:
      await ctx.send("You do not own this bot!")
