from disnake.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.index = 0
        self.printer.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.printer.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1

    @printer.before_loop
    async def before_printer(self):
        print('waiting...')
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

    @printer.error
    async def printer_error(self, error):
        formatted = "".join(
        traceback.format_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__))
        await self.bot.get_channel(channel_id).send(formatted)


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))```
