Possibly a failing data ribbon in the lens. Which lens is it?

I am able to take a few pictures and then keep getting error the camera can't recognize lens. I have cleaned it still times. Will take a few more pictures and then get the error again. What could be causing this to happen?
What is the error message?
Is this happening with a Canon lens, or a third party lens?
Do you have another lens you can try on the camera body?
If you are using a Canon lens, like the one that probably came with your T6 camera, then all of it is hopefully still under the original Canon warranty. In this case, I would contact Canon U.S. Support at 1-800-OK-CANON.

"I have cleaned it still times."
You can stop doing that as it is almost to never the problem. But I guess you have come to realize that fact. It is possible to make it worse by cleaning the contacts improperly. Never use an eraser for instance.
"What could be causing this to happen?
You will have to provide a lot more infor for any reasonable answer solution. If you call Canon support, they will ask, too.

If you Google "Canon 18-55mm ribbon cable" you get the story.

Hi Jamm004,
Thank you for posting.
Without testing your camera with a second Canon EF or Canon EF-S lens, it's not possible to definitively say that the lens or camera is the issue. If you have access to a second lens, known to be good, I recommend checking your camera with that to determine the most likely cause of the malfunction.
