Guild .memberCount vs .approximateMemberCount?

What is the difference between a guild's memberCount and approx MC? I don't see a memberCount in the actual API-provided Guild, and additionally the approximate count is for some reason null? I have the Guilds & GuildMembers intents enabled which I presume are the needed ones.

            this.container.metricsManager.writePoint(
                new Point("member-count").intField("members", client.guilds.cache.get(env.MAIN_GUILD_ID)!.approximateMemberCount)
            );

            this.container.metricsManager.writePoint(
                new Point("member-count").intField("members", client.guilds.cache.get(env.MAIN_GUILD_ID)!.approximateMemberCount)
            );

The error is the Influx client showing me that the guild's .approximateMemberCount is null (ping for replies please) Should I be using .membercount or .approximatemembercount? I'm still getting nulls, I enabled GuildPresences as well

            const guild = await client.guilds.fetch({ guild: env.MAIN_GUILD_ID, withCounts: true });

            this.container.metricsManager.writePoint(
                new Point("member-count")
                    .intField("members", guild.approximateMemberCount)
                    .intField("onlineMembers", guild.approximatePresenceCount)
            );

            const guild = await client.guilds.fetch({ guild: env.MAIN_GUILD_ID, withCounts: true });

            this.container.metricsManager.writePoint(
                new Point("member-count")
                    .intField("members", guild.approximateMemberCount)
                    .intField("onlineMembers", guild.approximatePresenceCount)
            );

.memberCount exists though Thinkeng

I misunderstood what you said. What about for getting members per presence? Do I fetch the full member list?? Technically in some guilds don't you only get members in VCs if they're over the large guild threshold? We don't have 75k and its a single-server bot so no issue
