You can use an variable in the button custom id too Like <embed_unique_id>:goto_page:3 Yeah, there's that

async execute(interaction, client) {
    let currPage = interaction.message.embeds[0].data.footer.text[5];
    console.log("currPage");
    console.log(currPage);
    const butttonLabelList = [
      { key: "BackLeaderboard", value: "◀️ Previous Page" },
      { key: "FrontLeaderboard", value: "Next Page ▶️" },
    ];

    let buttonRow = new ActionRowBuilder();
    for (let i = 0; i < butttonLabelList.length; i++) {
      buttonRow.addComponents(
        new ButtonBuilder()
          .setCustomId(butttonLabelList[i].key)
          .setLabel(butttonLabelList[i].value)
          .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
      );
    }
    let levelEmbed = await LevelHandler.getLeaderboardEmbed(
      interaction,
      parseInt(currPage) + 1
    );
    console.log("levelEmbed");
    console.log(levelEmbed);
    interaction.editReply({
      embeds: [levelEmbed],
      components: [buttonRow],
    });
  }

async execute(interaction, client) {
    let currPage = interaction.message.embeds[0].data.footer.text[5];
    console.log("currPage");
    console.log(currPage);
    const butttonLabelList = [
      { key: "BackLeaderboard", value: "◀️ Previous Page" },
      { key: "FrontLeaderboard", value: "Next Page ▶️" },
    ];

    let buttonRow = new ActionRowBuilder();
    for (let i = 0; i < butttonLabelList.length; i++) {
      buttonRow.addComponents(
        new ButtonBuilder()
          .setCustomId(butttonLabelList[i].key)
          .setLabel(butttonLabelList[i].value)
          .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
      );
    }
    let levelEmbed = await LevelHandler.getLeaderboardEmbed(
      interaction,
      parseInt(currPage) + 1
    );
    console.log("levelEmbed");
    console.log(levelEmbed);
    interaction.editReply({
      embeds: [levelEmbed],
      components: [buttonRow],
    });
  }

this is what i came up with i figured out how to get the page number i cant figure out how to add custom values to a button id

const butttonLabelList = [
          { key: "FrontLeaderboard", value: "Next Page ▶️" },
        ];

        let buttonRow = new ActionRowBuilder();
        for (let i = 0; i < butttonLabelList.length; i++) {
          buttonRow.addComponents(
            new ButtonBuilder()
              .setCustomId(butttonLabelList[i].key)
              .setLabel(butttonLabelList[i].value)
              .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
          );
        }

const butttonLabelList = [
          { key: "FrontLeaderboard", value: "Next Page ▶️" },
        ];

        let buttonRow = new ActionRowBuilder();
        for (let i = 0; i < butttonLabelList.length; i++) {
          buttonRow.addComponents(
            new ButtonBuilder()
              .setCustomId(butttonLabelList[i].key)
              .setLabel(butttonLabelList[i].value)
              .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
          );
        }

this is my button code yea but how can i handle the unique keys everytime yea tbh i figured out the pages but i dont know how to edit the original embed with the new one

interaction.editReply({
      embeds: [levelEmbed],
      components: [buttonRow],
    });

interaction.editReply({
      embeds: [levelEmbed],
      components: [buttonRow],
    });

      interaction,
      currPage + 1
    );
    let pageCount = parseInt(levelEmbed.data.footer.text.match(/\d+/g)[1]);
    console.log("pageCount : " + pageCount);
    var butttonLabelList;
    if (currPage + 1 === pageCount) {
      butttonLabelList = [
        { key: "BackLeaderboard", value: "◀️ Previous Page" },
      ];
    } else {
