await Asyncio.sleep 是否不一致？

Question

As the title says, is await asynco.sleep inconsistent? As you can see from my code below, my code is meant to wait 24hrs, then send a private message to the user. From multiple tests I have ran, the code does work if I set a short time (I have tested, 1, 2,3 min all the way up to 10 min). However, I would like it set for 24hrs.

A bit of background on how the code is ran. I use replit and use uptime robot to ping the server to make sure it stays active. The bot does function as normal 24/7 apart from this await.

So, is it that await Asyncio.sleep only works consistently for smaller periods of time, or is it the way I am running the code, ie through replit and uptime bot? My reason to think it could maybe be uptime bot, is I assume, if it doesnt ping, the bot turns off? Making it re-run the code? My only thought to why it can't be that is that replit's seem to stay online for 5 minute without being pinged by uptime bot. So if uptime bot does not ping, i'd assume the Replit has some leway. Also, if it did happen to turn off, it would mean I would have to manually turn it back on etc. However, as I mentioned above, the rest of the code works 24/7 so I'm really lost!

If anyone has any advice for this novice, I would greatly appreciate it!

Cheers!

    #this acts as a pause, and will count up to the time entered in secconds before executing the rest of the script

    #This bit gives members a specific role
    role = get(member.guild.roles, name="Supporter")
    await member.add_roles(role)
    #THIS BIT SENDS MEMBERS A MESSAGE ALERTING THEM OF THEIR NEW ROLE 
    await member.create_dm()
    await member.dm_channel.send(f'Hi {member.name}, Congratulations :partying_face: you have now unlocked the trade and sell rooms, please read #rules and #faq before making a post')`

It is perfectly accurate, replit just messes it up. You really shouldn't be using replit as a hosting service because it restarts all the time, interrupting async processes. Use a VPS.
