Duplicate Message Send

Hello, I've been having an issue with a channel.send() call occasionally resulting in a message being sent multiple times. Node.js: v18.12.1 Discord.js: v14.9.0 OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Code:

async function sendMessage(
    channelId: Snowflake,
    guildId: Snowflake,
    client: Client,
    data: data,
    timestamp: number,
    roles: [Snowflake?],
) {
    const guildroles = roles.length ? [...new Set(roles)] : roles;
    if (data) {
        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setColor('#0e48b8')
            .setTitle(data.name)
            .setDescription(data.description)
            .setTimestamp(timestamp);

        (client.guilds.cache.get(guildId)?.channels.cache.get(channelId) as TextBasedChannel)
            .send({
                content: guildroles?.length ? guildroles.map((g) => `<@&${g}>`).join(' ') : '',
                embeds: [embed],
            })
            .then((m) => console.log(process.pid, '[Discord.js]', 'Sent data to channel:', m.channelId))
            .catch((e: any) => {
                console.log(e);
            });
    }
}

async function sendMessage(
    channelId: Snowflake,
    guildId: Snowflake,
    client: Client,
    data: data,
    timestamp: number,
    roles: [Snowflake?],
) {
    const guildroles = roles.length ? [...new Set(roles)] : roles;
    if (data) {
        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setColor('#0e48b8')
            .setTitle(data.name)
            .setDescription(data.description)
            .setTimestamp(timestamp);

        (client.guilds.cache.get(guildId)?.channels.cache.get(channelId) as TextBasedChannel)
            .send({
                content: guildroles?.length ? guildroles.map((g) => `<@&${g}>`).join(' ') : '',
                embeds: [embed],
            })
            .then((m) => console.log(process.pid, '[Discord.js]', 'Sent data to channel:', m.channelId))
            .catch((e: any) => {
                console.log(e);
            });
    }
}

Upon this function executing, I receive the following logs:

2544499 [Undici] Making request to: /api/v10/channels/1125283603702632531/messages

2544499 [Discord.js] Sent data to channel: 1125283603702632531

First 3 logs are requests made by undici, 4th log is from a client.rest response event 5th log is from the .then() method called on the promise returned by channel.send() It appears that despite my function only being called once, the message is being sent multiple times. If anyone has an idea as to what could cause this, please let me know.

I created similar thread here: https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/1137513755840872449 try to add this to your code

<Client>.rest.on(RESTEvents.Response, console.dir);

<Client>.rest.on(RESTEvents.Response, console.dir);

if you get "retries" value not equal to 0 in duplicated message, probably you have the same issue

These are the timestamps for each of the messages, in ms: 1693526700252 1693526715149 1693526730300 Approximately 15 seconds between each send I do get a value greater than 0 for retries in cases where duplicate messages are sent.
