AttributeError when making a discord bot

Question

I'm using the discord.py library to create a bot for my Discord server. At the moment I'm trying to handle what happens when a user removes their reaction from a message. I've updated Discord to the latest version, allowed intents both using the Developer Portal and through code like so:

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=('$', '?'), intents=intents)

Here's the code for the on_raw_reaction_remove function:

    channel = 867854256647176252
    message = 867855236861132860
    if payload.channel_id == channel and payload.message_id == message:
        guild = bot.get_guild(payload.guild_id)
        member = guild.get_member(payload.user_id)
        emoji = payload.emoji
        global channels
        channels = str(channels)
        channels = channels.split()
        if str(emoji.name) == '🙂' :
            role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name='Offtopic')
            for index in range(len(channels) - 1, -1, -1):
                if channels[index] == 'Offtopic':
                    channels.pop(index)  
            await payload.member.remove_roles(role)

And the error it yields once the reaction is removed:

Ignoring exception in on_raw_reaction_remove
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/meri/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 343, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "bot.py", line 420, in on_raw_reaction_remove
    await payload.member.remove_roles(role)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'remove_roles'

None of the answers to similar problems managed to help with the situation, any help is appreciated.

NoneType means that the value you're accessing (payload.member) is set to None, and therefore has no remove_roles() function. You defined member above as its own standalone variable, so did you intend to do member.remove_roles() instead?
