Hello, to start this off:

} else if (interaction.isStringSelectMenu()) {

await interaction.update({ embeds: [rankbinds_database_embeds[0]], components: [button_action_row, interaction.message.components[0]] });

} else if (interaction.isStringSelectMenu()) {

await interaction.update({ embeds: [rankbinds_database_embeds[0]], components: [button_action_row, interaction.message.components[0]] });

I'm already updating this interaction for the first time, and if the user presses on a button, I was doing this:

await interaction.update({ embeds: [rankbinds_database_embeds[current_page]] });

await interaction.update({ embeds: [rankbinds_database_embeds[current_page]] });

But I get an error that says Error [InteractionAlreadyReplied]: The reply to this interaction has already been sent or deferred. which I understood what it meant, so I used .editReply instead but the problem with using .editReply is that after you interact with a button it says This interaction failed. Is there any way around this?

You mean this as the stacktrace?

If I use .update, the console throws that error and nothing happens to the embed. If I use .editReply, the embed does get changed and the buttons are functional but with the error message This interaction failed at the bottom of the buttons.

That worked, thank you. As for not using interaction.update again, I understood that from the error message I got from the console. Just was wondering/asking if there's a way to update the message similar to interaction.update.
