Detect if an Ephemeral message is still onscreen?
I am sending an Ephemeral message containing an embed to the user with interaction.reply.
I store that reply message in a variable to be able to edit it.
From there on, I edit the Embed on a timer.
If the user dismisses the message I'd like to be able to stop that processing. Is this possible?
When I check to see if the message exists by ID, or to fetch it, it always seems to come back OK, I can't see any property on the the message which indicates it's been dismissed.

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

I don't want to delete it or prevent it from being dismissed, just don't want to continue pushing updates to it if it's no longer relevant. This doesn't seem to result in any discord errors, strangely!
