How to leave a channel in twitchio v3.0.1? I use AutoBot

@DustGalaxy it depends on how you have set things up and how your bot runs:

The first thing is likely going to be to call https://twitchio.dev/en/latest/exts/commands/bot.html#twitchio.ext.commands.Bot.delete_eventsub_subscription and then https://twitchio.dev/en/latest/exts/commands/bot.html#twitchio.ext.commands.Bot.remove_token ensuring that if you store tokens in a database they are removed from their as well.

I'm in bed and just woke up but later I will have a look if there is a better way to just outright invalidate the token. Potentially this is a helper method we can add.

Okay, that's clearer, but please explain what exactly delete_eventsub_subscription does because it's not entirely clear from the documentation which subscription this method deletes.

[EvieePy]

The subscription you pass it. You have to provide it with a subscription ID. You'll want to remove any subscriptions on the channel you want to remove. I am going to have a look later though and just see if we can outright invalidate a user token which would automatically remove all subscriptions and tokens, and I'll add that as a helper method.

Ok we can revoke a user token; I'll add a helper method to Client/Bot later today sometime to assist in removing it from a specific broadcaster.

Thanks for the prompt response, I will wait for the implementation of such a method. (Although I am very surprised that it has not been done yet, does no one really want to disconnect bots from the channel at the request of the user?)

[EvieePy]

Technically the revocation method already exists on our HTTPClient; it just doesn't really exist as something that is going to handle specific cleanup (E.g gracefully closing websockets, removing the token from the Client etc etc) and no this is not a very common request, since the user has the ability to remove your bot from a channel already, it's not usually the other way around.
