atexit module not working when stopped with vsCode

Question

I am coding a discord bot in discord.py. I want it to change the role of the bot to show it's offline when the code is stopped. Here's the relevant code:

import atexit, signal
class MyClient(discord.Client):
 async def exit_handler(self):
 print("stopped!")
 guild = self.get_guild(SERVER_ID)
 role = utils.get(guild.roles, name="Bot Offline")
 member = guild.get_member(BOT_USER_ID)
 await member.add_roles(role)
atexit.register(client.exit_handler)
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, client.exit_handler)
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, client.exit_handler)

exit_handler isn't running when stopped with vsCode. I did not get an error message. I Tried running it in IDLE as well.

• furas: do you get error message? Show it in question (not in comments) Is this working when you run without VS Code? Maybe VS Code use this atexit to catch exit and it can block access. Or maybe atexit is executed when all objects are already removed from memory. Or maybe atexit can't run w async. I think discord has own function to run something when yo close connection. Probably you have to create function on_close()
• furas: python - Is there a way to run an asyncio coroutine using atexit? - Stack Overflow

• Mildly Intelligent: @furas do you mean that async def on_close() would execute on close?
• Mark Ransom: When you stop a program with VSCode, you don't get SIGTERM or SIGINT - the code just literally stops dead.
