The code you have provided does not show how and where you start your bot, either by calling bot.run or a custom runner that calls bot.start, so we cannot know why it is not online.

You should not do any API calls in on_ready, as you can get ratelimited, and therefore, disconnected. Also, changing your client status/presence that much can cause ratelimits, which, as said, can get you disconnected.
You should also know that on_ready can fire multiple times. If you need to do any setup for the bot, then override Client.setup_hook

And prevent the usage of atexit, if you need to do any asynchronous closure, then you can use a custom runner, there is an example of how to implement it on the repository.
