I'm having this problem on Linux using a Bot Application with the following settings (in ~/discordgo/settings.json):

{
	"credentials": {
		"token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
		"userBot": true
	},
	"admins": [
		"876274047791534100"
	],
	"adminChannels": [
		{
			"channel": "1093029617629134919"
		}
	],
	"githubUpdateChecking": true,
	"commandPrefix": "ddg ",
	"presenceEnabled": false,
	"presenceStatus": "idle",
	"channels": [
		{
			"channel": "1093022144893558837",
			"destination": "$HOME/Downloads/discordgo",
			"enabled": true,
			"save": true,
			"allowCommands": false,
			"scanEdits": true,
			"ignoreBots": false,
			"sendErrorMessages": false,
			"presenceEnabled": true,
			"reactWhenDownloadedHistory": false,
			"divideByType": true,
			"saveImages": true,
			"saveVideos": true
		}
	]
}

Then running:

cd $HOME/discordgo
$HOME/discordgo/discord-downloader-go_linux_amd64

Which results in:

@modelfe Make sure your token hasn't been reset, sometimes that happens. If it persists maybe try the same token on a different bot application just to see if it's a problem with the application or your bot account. If it seems to be the application let me know and I'll try to figure it out.

The userBot setting was deprecated with v2, that's not effecting anything in case that was a concern, the program's ignoring it.
