invite.uses returning None

I'm trying to figure out who invited a user when they join, but when I try to get the number of times an invite has been used I keep getting None. Here's my code:

 @client.event
    async def on_ready(self):
        global before_invites
        before_invites = []
        for guild in self.client.guilds:
            for invite in await guild.invites():
                invite = await self.client.get_invite(invite)
                x = [invite.url, invite.uses, invite.inviter.id]
                before_invites.append(x)
            print(before_invites)

which then prints out [['http://discord.gg/xxxxxxx', None, 01234567890123456789], ['http://discord.gg/xxxxxxx', None, 01234567890123456789], ...]

So far I've double checked and the bot has all permissions in the server and made sure that there are invites for the server that have been used. Can only self accounts see invite uses?

The problem is that you're calling get_invite instead of using the Invite from Guild.invites. get_invite uses the GET Invite endpoint of the Discord API, which only returns the invite object, not including it's metadata. By contrast, Guild.invites uses the GET Channel Invites endpoint, which does return the metadata objects.

Just use the invites from Guild.invites directly:

@client.event
async def on_ready(self):
    global before_invites
    before_invites = []
    for guild in self.client.guilds:
        for invite in await guild.invites():
            x = [invite.url, invite.uses, invite.inviter.id]
            before_invites.append(x)
        print(before_invites)
