#Define the imports
    import twitch
    import keypresser
    import pyautogui
    import time
    t = twitch.Twitch();
    k = keypresser.Keypresser();

    #Enter your twitch username and oauth-key below, and the app
connects to twitch with the details.
        #your oauth-key can be generated at http://twitchapps.com/tmi/
    username = "";
    key = "";
    t.twitch_connect(username, key);


    #The main loop
    while True:
        #Check for new mesasages
        new_messages = t.twitch_recieve_messages();

        if not new_messages:
            #No new messages...
            continue
        else:
            for message in new_messages:
                #Wuhu we got a message. Let's extract some details
from it
                msg = message['message'].lower()
                username = message['username'].lower()
                print(username + ": " + msg);


That's all and usually it works fine, but after a few hours the bot is
disconnected from twitch and doesn't receive any messages and I don't
know why, can someone help me out please?

I have to say, I'm a newbie in programming so uhm what's ping pong? 😅

If youre connected to a server it will send a ping and wait for a pong
response. You would have to code a listener and response to that
event. If youre new id say learn to use node.js for twitch and use
tmi.js package

If youre stuck ive made bots for twitch in python and node.js so you
can message me.
