Is there a way for me to make my python discord bot do something at a certain time

So I need to know how to make my python discord bot do something at a certain time because I want it to clear all messages in a channel at around 5:00am when no one is on I will be using the date time module but the problem is I do not want it to interfere with the rest of my bot is there any way I can do this. I know that there are other threads about this but none of them bring up the part about interference with the rest of there bot. And I am using repl.it to run the bot in case that is needed to be known.

You can create an asynchronous background task. During bot startup, calculate how many seconds are left to 5 AM and then sleep the task until then.

There is no reason that it should "interfere" with the rest of your code. I assume that you tried using blocking functions such as time.sleep(). You can use asyncio.sleep() instead.
