channel.isTextBased is not a function

Every once in a while, I get the error "channel.isTextBased" is not a function, which crashes my bot, and to fix it, I need to update discord.js. However, this bot going down every time there's an update is problematic. Does anyone know a way I can prevent my bot from crashing every update because of this error?

• 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.

I know that .isText no longer works but according to the docs .isTextBased should I'll try swapping to channel.type === ChannelType.GuildText but that may cause some issues as I dont only want it to happen in text channels, but all text based channels [email protected], v18.15.0

Use v14.11.0 or newer of discord.js: npm i discord.js@latest (more: https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/1091094485754187907/1091094485754187907 )
