TextChannel.send only works when sending raw content

Hello , i am fetching a channel and trying to send an embed, and it doesnt work, it only allows me to send a channel when i remove the embed and send raw String content. Here is the code , i have added an example of what works and what doesnt work :

const channel = (await DiscordClient.channels.fetch(
  ChannelIds.REVIEWS_CHANNEL
)) as TextChannel;
// this works and sends the message
await channel.send({ content: "message" });

//embed
const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setDescription(`**Message:**`)
    .setTitle("Review");

// this doesnt work (gets stuck on the await and never prints)
await channel.send({ content: "message", embeds: [embed] });

const channel = (await DiscordClient.channels.fetch(
  ChannelIds.REVIEWS_CHANNEL
)) as TextChannel;
// this works and sends the message
await channel.send({ content: "message" });

//embed
const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setDescription(`**Message:**`)
    .setTitle("Review");

// this doesnt work (gets stuck on the await and never prints)
await channel.send({ content: "message", embeds: [embed] });

Any ideas on why could that be ? Thanks in advance. I am using Discordjs 14.6.0

      .setDescription(`**Message:**`)
      .setTitle("Review");

  console.log("before sending embed"); // prints
  // this doesnt work (gets stuck on the await and never prints)
  await channel.send({ content: "message", embeds: [embed] });
  console.log("embed message sent"); // doesnt print

  // this works and sends the message
  console.log("before sending message"); // prints
  await channel.send({ content: "message" });
  console.log("sent message"); // prints

  //embed
