Discord Py Bot - json file is being written to but does not save after reload

I have a json load/save/dump function to count how many time a single word is said in a specific channel. It works great, but I lose the data after reboot of the bot. Below is my code.

def load_counters():
    with open('cup.json', 'r') as f: 
        counters = json.load(f)
    return counters

def save_counters(counters):
    with open('cup.json', 'w') as f:
        json.dump(counters, f)

 if message.channel.id == 709551578612498453:
        if message.content == ('cup'):
            counters = load_counters()
            counters["cup"] += 1
            save_counters(counters)
            return
        else:
            cup_meta = client.get_channel(709984510678269982)
            cup_channel = client.get_channel(709551578612498453)
            await cup_meta.send(message.author.mention + ' has violated the sacred rules of Cup')
            await message.delete()
            await cup_channel.send('cup')
            return
    with open('cup.json', 'r') as f:
       counters1 = json.load(f) # Open and load the file
    totalcup = counters1['cup']
    if message.content == ('!totalcup'):
        await message.channel.send(f"Cup has been said {totalcup} times since Bender reset me.")

Here is the json file - right now if I were to run !totalcup, the bot spits out '13' but the file says 0. Not sure if I am missing something as I am new to code.

{
    "cup": 0
}

I just figured it out. The code does work as intended, it is a problem with how my host (Heroku) operates. There isn't anything I can do until I find a new hosting situation.
