If you have a spare computer or laptop, you could run it off there. Bouncing off of the idea of that, maybe getting a raspberry Pi? (Credit card-sized mini computer, that you can leave on 24/7 and only draws 5 watts.)

I’ve been hosting my Red Discord bot on a [free Amazon EC2](https://aws.amazon.com/free/) server for months. I think I got charged $0.03 once when I left it playing a YouTube Playlist on repeat for a few weeks, but other than that, it’s been completely free

Try the free plan on `PythonAnywhere`. I can run the bot on there for fine. Though keeping it 24/7 is a challenge.

Google Cloud Platform gives you $300 of free credit.
