a uptime command in discord py, i get always the same error

Question

    @commands.command(aliases=['uptime', 'up'])
    async def status(self, ctx):

        timeUp = time.time() - self.bot.startTime
        hours = timeUp / 3600
        minutes = (timeUp / 60) % 60
        seconds = timeUp % 60

        admin = self.bot.AppInfo.owner
        users = 0
        channel = 0
        if len(self.bot.commands_used.items()):
            commandsChart = sorted(self.bot.commands_used.items(), key=lambda t: t[1], reverse=False)
            topCommand = commandsChart.pop()
            commandsInfo = '{} (Top-Command: {} x {})'.format(sum(self.bot.commands_used.values()), topCommand[1], topCommand[0])
        else:
            commandsInfo = str(sum(self.bot.commands_used.values()))
        for guild in self.bot.guilds:
            users += len(guild.members)
            channel += len(guild.channels)

        embed = discord.Embed(color=ctx.me.top_role.colour)
        embed.set_footer(text='UwU')
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.me.avatar_url)
        embed.add_field(name='Admin', value=admin, inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name='Uptime', value='{0:.0f} Stunden, {1:.0f} Minuten und {2:.0f} Sekunden\n'.format(hours, minutes, seconds), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name='Beobachtete Benutzer', value=users, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name='Beobachtete Channel', value=channel, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name='Ausgeführte Commands', value=commandsInfo, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name='Bot Version', value=self.bot.botVersion, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name='Discord.py Version', value=discord.__version__, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name='Python Version', value=platform.python_version(), inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name='Betriebssystem', value=f'{platform.system()} {platform.release()} {platform.version()}', inline=False)
        await ctx.send('**:information_source:** Informationen über diesen Bot:', embed=embed)

discord.ext.commands.Bot does not save the date the bot started. However, you could do that manually very easily. Inside the on_ready function in the main file, create a bot variable and save the current datetime. Make sure you import it as well!

In case you didn't know, bot variables are declared like so; bot.your_var_name = value. Be careful, however, because you might overwrite something. In your case, you could try;

import datetime

'''
Import everything else you need and
make sure to declare the bot client
'''

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    bot.start_time = datetime.datetime.now()

Then you can use bot.start_time outside that file. For instance, in a cog it would be self.bot.start_time.

And in your code, I recommend using datetime instead of time, it's much easier to work with.
