Client not able to edit a channel even with all permissions

I'm trying to edit a channel's name, but keep getting told I'm "missing access" (don't have permission to edit the channel). Serialized permissions in the channel:

you sure the id is of the right channel?

elseifOP•2y ago

yes. the permissions are also for that channel

SpecialSauce•2y ago

How are we logging the permissions?

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

<Channel>.permissionsFor(bot)

elseifOP•2y ago

console.log(member.guild.channels.cache.get('996227371692724264').permissionsFor(member.guild.members.me).serialize())
member.guild.channels.cache.get('996227371692724264').edit({ name: `Members: ${member.guild.memberCount}` })

console.log(member.guild.channels.cache.get('996227371692724264').permissionsFor(member.guild.members.me).serialize())
member.guild.channels.cache.get('996227371692724264').edit({ name: `Members: ${member.guild.memberCount}` })

i've tried fetching the channel as well

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

could u log the channel type?

elseifOP•2y ago

1. channel type doesn't matter 2. i can tell you from the ID and how i got it that the channel is a voice channel

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

btw, guild.memberCount gives a numer that is not accurate

elseifOP•2y ago

also,

SpecialSauce•2y ago

<#996227371692724264> is the correct channel?

edocsil•2y ago

Channel type does matter because Connect is required to change the name of voice channels And since your channel name has a space in it, I'm guessing that it is and that's the issue

For voice and stage channels, denying the CONNECT permission also implicitly denies other permissions such as MANAGE_CHANNEL.
