switch statement not triggering in catch function

Hi, I'm trying to handle errors when trying to fetch a message but it just doesn't run the switch statement. Does someone have an idea why?

const msg = await channel.messages.fetch(serverConfig.ticketMessage.id).catch(e => {
  console.log("Error", e.status);  // gets logged
  switch (e.status) {
    case 404:
      interaction.reply({ content: `The message could not be edited. It may have been deleted.` });  // does not get logged
      return;
    case 403:
      interaction.reply({ content: `The message could not be edited. I don't have access to the channel.` });  // does not get logged
      return;
    default:
      console.log("Test");  // does not get logged
      break;
  }
  console.log("Test 2");  // does not get logged
});

const msg = await channel.messages.fetch(serverConfig.ticketMessage.id).catch(e => {
  console.log("Error", e.status);  // gets logged
  switch (e.status) {
    case 404:
      interaction.reply({ content: `The message could not be edited. It may have been deleted.` });  // does not get logged
      return;
    case 403:
      interaction.reply({ content: `The message could not be edited. I don't have access to the channel.` });  // does not get logged
      return;
    default:
      console.log("Test");  // does not get logged
      break;
  }
  console.log("Test 2");  // does not get logged
});

Can you add a log in each case?

I didn't think about that. It actually logs. But why doesn't it reply?

It doesn’t happen often that you reply in time after making an api call You should deferReply beforehand, then editReply when ur ready to respond You can check if this is the issue by catching the reply calls

When I do

interaction.reply({ content: `The message could not be edited. It may have been deleted.` }).catch(e => console.log(e));

interaction.reply({ content: `The message could not be edited. It may have been deleted.` }).catch(e => console.log(e));

It doesn't do anything The slash command interaction from the user
