'messageCreate' not firing for DMs

Hey there, I'm currently having an issue where when trying to receive direct messages, the bot won't fire a messageCreate event. I have the intents and partials listed below as well as checked the docs rigorously, this is my last resort. According to the docs and guide, the bot should be configured for DMs, yet the event will not fire for them. Additional note, the event fires just fine for guild messages (when the GuildMessages intent is applied) so its nothing wrong with the event handler from what I can see. Intents: 'Guilds', 'DirectMessages', 'MessageContent' Partials: 'Channel', 'Message' Thanks for any help provided :)

this is the init file

// Define Intents
  const intents = [ 'Guilds', 'DirectMessages', 'MessageContent' ];

// Define Partials
  const partials = [ 'Channel', 'Message' ];

// Define Presence
  const presence = {
    status: "online",

    activities: [{ name: "for /help", type: 3 }]
  };

const client = new Client({ intents, partials, presence });

// Define Intents
  const intents = [ 'Guilds', 'DirectMessages', 'MessageContent' ];

// Define Partials
  const partials = [ 'Channel', 'Message' ];

// Define Presence
  const presence = {
    status: "online",

    activities: [{ name: "for /help", type: 3 }]
  };

const client = new Client({ intents, partials, presence });
