Getting "Unknown interaction" error even with interaction.deferReply()

Hey folks, I am getting a strange error with this code:

class StandingsInteraction {
    public async interaction(interaction: TypedCommands['standings']) {
        // interaction is ChatInputCommandInteraction
        await interaction.deferReply();

        const { data, expired } = await standingsCache.getData();

        if (!expired) {
            return await interaction.editReply({
                content: data // data is a string here
            });
        }

        const res = await interaction.editReply({
            files: [{
                attachment: data, // data is a Buffer here
                name: 'la-liga-standings.png'
            }]
        });

        standingsCache.revalidate(res);
    }
}

class StandingsInteraction {
    public async interaction(interaction: TypedCommands['standings']) {
        // interaction is ChatInputCommandInteraction
        await interaction.deferReply();

        const { data, expired } = await standingsCache.getData();

        if (!expired) {
            return await interaction.editReply({
                content: data // data is a string here
            });
        }

        const res = await interaction.editReply({
            files: [{
                attachment: data, // data is a Buffer here
                name: 'la-liga-standings.png'
            }]
        });

        standingsCache.revalidate(res);
    }
}

The problem is that I am randomly getting this error, and I can't figure out why since I am deferring the reply:

I searched online for the problem but without much success.

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

That means that discord is receiving your deferReply() more than 3 seconds after the interaction was created It may just be a network/hardware issue rather than something solvable in your code

i understand, but the thing is, i really have nothing that could possibly take 3 seconds until I defer. just a few if statements, but those are never going to take 3 seconds, not even 3 milliseconds. before the class method gets called i mean, there is nothing that would take so long i actually can't remember. the error seemed super random and i can't seem to be able to reproduce it right now, yesterday it was happening semi-frequently. I think this mostly occurs around startup times so maybe it's not that big of a deal. If it becomes a problem I will have to look into it again, but at the moment I don't want to spend hours on this. seems to be similar to this but there is no resolution available: https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/issues/7005 it might be taking more than 3 seconds, but only after the deferReply this problem is on a local high end machine, ryzen 9 7900 pc so it's not slow

        });

        standingsCache.revalidate(res);
    }
}

that's my entire code so all you have before the defer is these two if statements:

// 1
if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
        await interactionController(interaction);
    }
// 2
  if (isTyped.command(interaction, 'standings')) {
            await standingssInteraction.interaction(interaction);
        }

// 1
if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
        await interactionController(interaction);
    }
// 2
  if (isTyped.command(interaction, 'standings')) {
            await standingssInteraction.interaction(interaction);
        }

yeah i was thinking the same between receiving the initial interaction request and then the discord servers receiving my bot response >3 seconds discord could be laggy once in a while, might be related to that, but either way, thanks for trying to help, don't think there is much i can do about this
