🔒 NameError: name 'ctx' is not defined

[undone nest]

How can this be fixed?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

class func2(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.loop_task2.start()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=210)
    async def loop_task2(self):
        ids = ['1263869253082157126', '772320334606368788']
        for i in range(len(ids)):
            user_id = ids[i]
            
            user = await ctx.bot.fetch_user(user_id)
            await user.send('Test message')

    @loop_task2.before_loop
    async def before_loop(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(func2(bot))

Error:

user = await ctx.bot.fetch_user(user_id)

• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Why are you using context?

[jagged peak]

You want self.bot right?

[vital phoenix]

This code doesn't need context. Context only is used when commands are being invoked.

Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the Messageable ABC.

Your code should work without it.
