The python interpreter will only run over

status = cycle( [f' on { len(client.guilds) } servers', '~help'] ) 

once, as it is defined as a global variable. This means that len(client.guilds) will always be the same number. And since the interpreter runs over this, before on_ready() was called, the value of this is 0. To fix this, put the declaration of status into your changeStatus() function.

@tasks.loop( seconds = 5 )
async def changeStatus():
    status = cycle( [f' on { len(client.guilds) } servers', '~help'] )
    await client.change_presence( activity = discord.Activity( type = discord.ActivityType.playing, name = next(status) ) )
