[FIXED] Discord.py count reactions on a message

Issue

I'm doing a bot discord and I'd like my bot to count the number of reactions to a message before deleting him

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    if payload.channel_id == 614467771866021944:
        if payload.emoji.name == "🔁":
            # if number of reactions > 4:
            # delete the message

Solution

You need to use the ids in the payload to get the Message object of the message and then check the count attribute of the appropriate Reaction from Message.reactions:

from discord.utils import get

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    if payload.channel_id == 614467771866021944:
        if payload.emoji.name == "🔁":
            channel = client.get_channel(614467771866021944)
            message = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id)
            reaction = get(message.reactions, emoji=payload.emoji.name)
            if reaction and reaction.count > 4:
                await message.delete()
