discord.py message getting sent multiple times, increases by 1 each time

Really hard to word in a title. Basically I have a function called #start, which when called at a specific time will send a message on discord asking me to revise until (again) a specific time. But when I go back on discord, it turns out the message has been sent twice. So then I try doing the #start command and it sends the same message 3 times. If I type in #start again, it comes up 4 times. This is my code:
if hour == 14:
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "<@258621320898543616> Why don't you try some science revision now?")
science = random.choice(sciences)
asyncio.sleep(0.5)
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "<@258621320898543616> lemme see, how about " +science+"? Look over some of that")
asyncio.sleep(1)
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "you can take a break at 3:00")
while hour >= 14 and hour < 15:
msg = await bot.wait_for_message(timeout=3, author=message.author)
if msg:
await bot.delete_message(msg)
hour = int(time.strftime("%H"))
After the 4th time i type in #start it throws up an error saying:
discord.errors.NotFound: NOT FOUND (status code: 404): Unknown Message
Not sure what's wrong with the code or how I can stop it from happening. Help please?

Add a global value indicating whether or not the #start command is running.
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
bot = Bot(command_prefix='#')
start_running = False
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
global start_running
if message.content.startswith('#start'):
if not start_running:
start_running = True
# do stuff
start_running = False
bot.run("token")

problem is that the whole code i typed (along with many other while loops and if statements for different times throughout the day) is inside a singleif message.content.startswith('#start'):statement. And this if statement is inside aasync def on_message()coroutine. I did this so If i were to type in #start at anytime throughout the day, it would reply with whatever task is set for that time

Nov 11 at 16:05
soo it's not really a command per se.
– brandone
Nov 11 at 16:07
and doing it that way prevents me from using anything to do withmessage
– brandone
Nov 11 at 16:22
is there any way to make it so thewait_for_message()uses a user ID to determine if a message is taken?
– brandone
Nov 11 at 16:25
@brandone You can easily do this withon_message, see my example above. If the command is just supposed to respond with the task for that time, why is there a loop at all?
