I know it sounds a bit dumb but are you making sure that the message you are trying to edit is a message you sent?

Hello, i found the error its when u make the request patch to edit a message, if u have some data in the body that may be null, discord will claim it as non nullable and try to make a request without the required permissions.I just deleted the null proprietes on the body here is the fix on the APIRequest.js

    if(this.method == "patch") {
      body = JSON.parse(body)
      for(const key in body) {

        if(body[key] == null || Array.isArray(body[key]) && body[key].length == 0) {
          delete body[key];
        }
      }
      body = JSON.stringify(body)
      //return fetch(url,{method: "patch",body: JSON.stringify(body ),headers: {"Content-type": "application/json",Authorization: headers.Authorization}}).finally(() => clearTimeout(timeout));
    }
    return fetch(url, {
      method: this.method,
      headers,
      agent,
      body,
      signal: controller.signal,
    }).finally(() => clearTimeout(timeout));
  }
}

so can u pls find an alternative?

I tried it but it didn't cause any error

client.on('ready', async (client) => {
    console.log('Ready!', client.user.tag);
    const c = client.channels.cache.get('id');
    const m = await c.send('abc');
    m.edit({
        content: 'def'
    });
});
