Inconsistent Timing in `ModalInteraction.deferReply()`

The function ModalInteraction.deferReply() is exhibiting inconsistent behavior. Instead of taking a constant interval of time to execute, it is taking a random amount of time.

public async execute(interaction: Interaction): Promise<void> {
        if (interaction.inCachedGuild()) {
            try {
                if (interaction.isCommand()) {
                    console.log(`Command => ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await this.handleCommand(interaction);
                } else if (interaction.isButton()) {
                    console.log(`Button => ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true });
                    console.log(`Button interaction defered: ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await this.handleButton(interaction);
                } else if (interaction.isModalSubmit()) {
                    console.log(`Modal => ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: false });
                    console.log(`Modal interaction defered: ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await this.handleModalSubmit(interaction);
                }
            } catch (error) {
                this.client.logger.error(error);
            }
        }
    }

public async execute(interaction: Interaction): Promise<void> {
        if (interaction.inCachedGuild()) {
            try {
                if (interaction.isCommand()) {
                    console.log(`Command => ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await this.handleCommand(interaction);
                } else if (interaction.isButton()) {
                    console.log(`Button => ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true });
                    console.log(`Button interaction defered: ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await this.handleButton(interaction);
                } else if (interaction.isModalSubmit()) {
                    console.log(`Modal => ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: false });
                    console.log(`Modal interaction defered: ${(Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp) / 1000}`);
                    await this.handleModalSubmit(interaction);
                }
            } catch (error) {
                this.client.logger.error(error);
            }
        }
    }

The problem is under node 18 and 20 and under versions 14.11 and 14.15.2 The problem is present on my dev machines (windows 11 / Ubuntu 24.04) and on my server (Debian 12)

yes, but from there to goes from 0.53s to 6s it's still a little strange knowing that the interaction expires in the meantime knowing that this only happens for modals

this is not logical, if this was an internet problem it would also happen for other ineractions except this only happens for modals if you look at the logs above the time for the buttons are in a regular and stable interval there is no big variation like for the modals
