Solution

  • There's a difference between the intents.message and the intents.message_content.

    While the first is a general intent to have access to the message context, it does Not have access to message content within a Guild, as it became a private intent about a year ago (You can check the Dev notes here); It does however have access to the content within a DM.

    Therefore, in order for you to have access to the content of both Guild and DM message contents, you need to declare the intents to message_content as below:

    intents.message_content = True
