Get complete list up to the last unique value using Python and Pandas

My goal is to get the complete list up until the last unique value. Ideally, I would like methods for performing this operation Pythonically and using Pandas, but a single method solution will work great. Also, I need to preserve the ordering of the list.

Also, in my example shown below, the last unique value happens to be the largest value in the list. This is not necessarily true for my application. The last unique value in my list can take on any value; meaning, it could be the smallest, the largest, or any value in between.

Below I show the progress I have made so far.

import pandas as pd

data_dict = {"RAW": [4000076160, 5354368, 4641792, 4641792, 4289860736, 982783232, 2122384768,
                     4136386944, 5440384, 4772864, 4772864, 4289881216,                     
                     4270354816, 4293477248, 4286243840, 4286243840, 3400832, 982783232, 2122384768],
             "ADC_TYPE": [3, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11,
                          3, 7, 8, 8, 9,                          
                          3, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11]}

df = pd.DataFrame(data_dict)
print(df)

The returned DataFrame (i.e. df):

           RAW  ADC_TYPE
0   4000076160         3
1      5354368         7
2      4641792         8
3      4641792         8
4   4289860736         9
5    982783232        10
6   2122384768        11
7   4136386944         3
8      5440384         7
9      4772864         8
10     4772864         8
11  4289881216         9
12  4270354816         3
13  4293477248         7
14  4286243840         8
15  4286243840         8
16     3400832         9
17   982783232        10
18  2122384768        11

I can use the following piece of code, but it will not return the complete list up to the last unique value.

unique_types = df["ADC_TYPE"].unique().tolist()  # return type is python list
print(unique_types)

Which returns:

[3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]

My goal is to return:

[3, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11]

I have searched through this forum and Google, but I have not found a solution to my problem thus far. I have found several examples that return a list of unique values, but not an example that returns the complete list up until the last unique value. Thanks!

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
