Access error using a channel deletion method

Yo. When I add my bot to the guild I request ManageChannels & ManageRoles permissions. Right now on my test server I found a rather strange error.

voiceChannel.delete()
    .then(() => {
        // posting result to logs
    })
    .catch((e) => {
        console.error(e); 
        // posting error to logs
    });

voiceChannel.delete()
    .then(() => {
        // posting result to logs
    })
    .catch((e) => {
        console.error(e); 
        // posting error to logs
    });

If I right now execute this function with current perms. The channel will be successfully deleted. --- I wanted to add a command to block this channel. I execute it like this:

voiceChannel.permissionOverwrites.cache.forEach(async (perm) => {
  if (perm.type == OverwriteType.Role) {
        if (perm.id != interaction.guild.members.me.roles?.botRole?.id) {
            channel.permissionOverwrites.edit(perm.id, { 'Connect': dbChannel.locked }).catch(() => {});
          } else {
            // do nothing for now
          }
    }
});

voiceChannel.permissionOverwrites.cache.forEach(async (perm) => {
  if (perm.type == OverwriteType.Role) {
        if (perm.id != interaction.guild.members.me.roles?.botRole?.id) {
            channel.permissionOverwrites.edit(perm.id, { 'Connect': dbChannel.locked }).catch(() => {});
          } else {
            // do nothing for now
          }
    }
});

But after executing this command, the bot loses the ability to delete this channel.

I checked the permissions of the bot before blocking the channel - and after. Didn't notice the difference.

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

Ok. I just solved this problem. Looking at djs code I noticed all requested perms. And I did not provide myself with "Connect"

get manageable() {
...
    const bitfield = VoiceBasedChannelTypes.includes(this.type)
      ? PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels | PermissionFlagsBits.Connect
      : PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel | PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels;
    return permissions.has(bitfield, false);
  }

get manageable() {
...
    const bitfield = VoiceBasedChannelTypes.includes(this.type)
      ? PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels | PermissionFlagsBits.Connect
      : PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel | PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels;
    return permissions.has(bitfield, false);
  }
