Can someone please suggest a bot rated at highest 1200 for me to train

I cant find any bots that actually work, all the ones I find keep declining my challenges. I want to train in classical mode. Does anyone have any suggestions for any bot I could use on Lichess, thanks.
The bots often ask you in the settings to choose certain options when you challenge them. Like they may ask that you only challenge them to unrated games of 5+0, etc - and will otherwise decline.
Yes Stockfish level 1 is possible but it's such a weird opponent. It can defend a pawn like a chessmaster and then will not capture back a piece. This never happens with a human opponent.
Probably the online bots here use lc0 engine rather than Stocfish, so it should make more human moves but I haven't tested them yet.
I'm trying to make a bot that makes human-like mistakes so it's reasonably rated but not by just blundering at random like setting stockfish to low. I'm having very mixed results. Hopefully it goes better in the future.

If I do decline matches, or abort games, or anything like that, assuming I'm online, it's a bug. Feel free to send @eub (my non-bot account) a DM if that happens!
