Discord shadow ban?

So I've been struggling to figure out why my bot seemed to work intermittently on discord. For days on end I would have no audio and then it would work again out of nowhere for a little while and stop again. I thought it was a problem on my end since the bot was being really flaky. I went to try to update it with the script but was unsuccessful since I was missing some dependency it wanted but was not available on the version of mint I was on. So I gave in and installed Ubuntu server. The bot acts much less flaky now but I had no audio. Logs were showing no errors at all.

At that point I created another bot on discord and linked my second instance. It plays just fine without any issue whatsoever. I believe my use of an idle playlist previously caused some kind of shadow ban on my bot being able to use audio on discords side. Has anyone else run into this before?
