My bot is not getting an activity when attempting to use UpdateStatusComplex()

[outmaneuver]

Here's my code. The status such as online/dnd/idle works fine but whatever i try my bot is just not getting an activity nor any errors

func (b *Bot) onReady(s *discordgo.Session, r *discordgo.Ready) {
    configStatus := b.ConfigStatus // or get it from config

    // trim leading and trailing whitespace from status
    us := &discordgo.UpdateStatusData{
        Activities: []*discordgo.Activity{
            {
                Name: "something",
                Type: discordgo.ActivityTypeGame,
        },
        },
        Status: configStatus, // online/dnd/idle from config < -- this part works fine btw.
        AFK:    false,
    }
    err := b.Session.UpdateStatusComplex(*us)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("error updating status: %v", err)
    } 
}

For clarity, are you saying the bot's activity doesn't get updated according to whatever you're posting when you call UpdateStatusComplex?

i was trying to use this feature from a user account as in to give the account a rich presence... but it did not work although it worked for making it stay in a voice channel
