Fetching webhook breaks inconsistently

I have a command that takes a webhook URL and should do something (haven't gotten there yet) with it. It works fine if I start up the bot and call it on a valid URL. However, if I call this command on a webhook URL with an invalid token, then when I call the command again with a valid URL, it does not work until I restart the bot. This is the core of the code:

const webhook_url = cmd.options.getString("webhook");
const match = webhook_url.match(
    /https:\/\/discord\.com\/api\/webhooks\/(\d+)\/(.+)/
);

if (!match) {
    return fail("That does not appear to be a valid webhook URL.");
}

console.log(match[1], match[2]);

let webhook;

try {
    webhook = await cmd.client.fetchWebhook(match[1], match[2]);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    return fail(
        "That webhook does not exist, or the token is invalid (make sure you copy-pasted correctly)."
    );
}

return "OK";

const webhook_url = cmd.options.getString("webhook");
const match = webhook_url.match(
    /https:\/\/discord\.com\/api\/webhooks\/(\d+)\/(.+)/
);

if (!match) {
    return fail("That does not appear to be a valid webhook URL.");
}

console.log(match[1], match[2]);

let webhook;

try {
    webhook = await cmd.client.fetchWebhook(match[1], match[2]);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    return fail(
        "That webhook does not exist, or the token is invalid (make sure you copy-pasted correctly)."
    );
}

return "OK";

The error I get when I use it on an invalid URL is this:

  code: 50027,

  url: 'https://discord.com/api/v10/webhooks/(ID)/(TOKEN)'
}

Then, when I use it on the correct URL with the correct token, I get the following:

Except, the console.log(match[1], match[2]) indicates that I am providing the token in the Client#fetchWebhook call.

• 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.

hm, it looks similar, but i'm not using djs/rest so i am not sure if it is caused by the exact same thing - (also yeah unless i missed it i don't see a fix there? looks like a similar issue though) ah oops alright lemme try to test that hey sorry how do I test that? i've never used djs/rest before; currently just trying the following

const rest = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(config.discord_token);

rest.on("response", (req, res) => {
    console.log(req, res);
});

const rest = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(config.discord_token);

rest.on("response", (req, res) => {
    console.log(req, res);
});

(just inserted this right before my login line) but i am not getting any output oh thanks lol the issue happens only after i fetch an invalid URL; i've been doing this previously as well and never had issues since i never tried entering an invalid URL oh like through client.on? not sure how to do that either sorry wait, like it unsets the client's token or something? since I do provide the webhook's token again in the next call anyway yes, I do get a 401 from the invalid webhook fetch which then causes the subsequent GET to not even be called oh interesting i suppose i could just fetch it without the webhook token then, since the bot does request Manage Webhooks... lmao rip oh weird ok so would a workaround be to just set the client's token again if this GET fails? hm, yep adding a cmd.client.rest.setToken(...) in the catch block does fix this alright thanks ❤️ that's pretty scuffed though but it works so oh well can't wait to run into some weird race condition 3 months later when someone else's command invocation fails between when the REST client discards its token and when i can set it back
