AutocompleteInteraction#respond takes a long time to return

my code:

const i = Math.random();
console.time(`searching-${i}`);
const focusedValue = interaction.options.getFocused();
const colorDataCopy = [...COLOR_DATA];
// slice limits the options to only be 25
const results = search(colorDataCopy.map((v) => v.name), focusedValue).slice(0, 25).map((v) => ({ name: v, value: v }));
console.timeEnd(`searching-${i}`);
console.time(`responding-${i}`);
try {
     await interaction.respond(results);
} catch {
     console.log("error occurred");
}
console.timeEnd(`responding-${i}`);

const i = Math.random();
console.time(`searching-${i}`);
const focusedValue = interaction.options.getFocused();
const colorDataCopy = [...COLOR_DATA];
// slice limits the options to only be 25
const results = search(colorDataCopy.map((v) => v.name), focusedValue).slice(0, 25).map((v) => ({ name: v, value: v }));
console.timeEnd(`searching-${i}`);
console.time(`responding-${i}`);
try {
     await interaction.respond(results);
} catch {
     console.log("error occurred");
}
console.timeEnd(`responding-${i}`);

and the output:

searching-0.22228686743632897: 1.964ms

responding-0.22228686743632897: 48.443s

This means that just calling AutocompleteInteraction#respond is taking around 50 seconds to complete. The error is from the interaction taking longer than 3 seconds. I have quite limited memory available (512mb). What could the problem be and how can I fix it?

- 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. - Issue solved? Press the button!

If it matters the command is also only deployed to the current guild, and not globally.

Maybe your internet connection has long ping? Only that request to dsicord API takes a long time, or some other?

d.js docs•17mo ago

Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

- Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client - If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | paste.gg | sourceb.in | hastebin

respond-${i} is only timing interaction.respond, so only to the discord API
