Cooldowns not correctly working

I have attached the hastebin code. I have the commands working however it never puts the command into cooldown and I can run them back to back with no errors. https://pastebin.com/CPPKKfrE

you are creating a new cooldown collection everytime your bot receives an interaction move that code outside of that event, leave it globally and it also just has to run once like when you register your commands

Ok so put that in my index.js and call it into my command handler ah there we go! thank you!

const { Events, Collection } = require('discord.js');


module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) {
        
        const { cooldowns } = interaction.client;

        if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

        const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

        if (!command) {
            console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
            return;
        }

        if (!cooldowns.has(command.data.name)) {
            cooldowns.set(command.data.name, new Collection());
        }

        const now = Date.now();
        const timestamps = cooldowns.get(command.data.name);
        const defaultCooldownDuration = 3;
        const cooldownAmount = (command.cooldown ?? defaultCooldownDuration) * 1000;

        if (timestamps.has(interaction.user.id)) {
            const expirationTime = timestamps.get(interaction.user.id) + cooldownAmount;

            if (now < expirationTime) {
                const expiredTimestamp = Math.round(expirationTime / 1000);
                return interaction.reply({ content: `Please wait, this command is on cooldown for \`${command.data.name}\`. You can use it again at <t:${expiredTimestamp}:R>.`, ephemeral: true});
            }
        }

        timestamps.set(interaction.user.id, now);
        setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(interaction.user.id), cooldownAmount);

        try {
            await command.execute(interaction);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(error);
            
            await interaction.reply({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true });
        }
    },
};

        const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

        if (!command) {
            console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
            return;
        }

        if (!cooldowns.has(command.data.name)) {
            cooldowns.set(command.data.name, new Collection());
        }

        const now = Date.now();

            }
        }

        timestamps.set(interaction.user.id, now);
        setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(interaction.user.id), cooldownAmount);

        try {
            await command.execute(interaction);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(error);
            
            await interaction.reply({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true });
        }
    },
};
