manual task compiler error

The heading might not be the best here but I tried searching and the docs but can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I used the scheduled tasks plugin. I've been using it for a while and my bot runs certain pattern tasks with no issue. I want to create a manual task that deletes a message if it's deletable after a set period of time. I followed the directions here https://github.com/sapphiredev/plugins/blob/1f0ca075501324013b7a79410ee4bc04ebad9720/packages/scheduled-tasks/README.md#manual-task-example My compiler is giving this error: Expected 1-2 arguments, but got 3.ts(2554)

something like this:

It's entirely possible that the readme isn't up-to-date. Other than the error TS also lets you go the symbol that you're calling (ctrl+click or right click and go to reference) and it'll open the .d.ts file and you can view the ptoper usage and adjust accordingly.

ok thank you I'll try that
/**
* Creates a scheduled task.
*
* @param task - The task to be scheduled.
* @param payload - The payload for the task.
* @param options - The options for the task.
*/
create<T extends ScheduledTasksResolvable>(task: T, //
options?: ScheduledTasksTaskOptions | number): Promise<ScheduledTasksJob<T>>;
/**
* Creates a scheduled task.
*
* @param task - The task to be scheduled.
* @param payload - The payload for the task.
* @param options - The options for the task.
*/
create<T extends ScheduledTasksResolvable>(task: T, //
options?: ScheduledTasksTaskOptions | number): Promise<ScheduledTasksJob<T>>;
this looks like it only takes the options or a number (delay I assume). I see the change now though it's in the comments below and is done through module declaration
* declare module '@sapphire/plugin-scheduled-tasks' {
* interface ScheduledTasks {
* // A task named `Mute` which requires no payload:
* Mute: never;
*
* // A task named `Unmute` which requires a payload with a `userId` property:
* Unmute: {
* userId: string;
* };
*
* // A task named `Ban` which has a payload with an optional `moderatorId` property:
* LogAction: {
* moderatorId?: string;
* };
* }
* }
*
* declare module '@sapphire/plugin-scheduled-tasks' {
* interface ScheduledTasks {
* // A task named `Mute` which requires no payload:
* Mute: never;
*
* // A task named `Unmute` which requires a payload with a `userId` property:
* Unmute: {
* userId: string;
* };
*
* // A task named `Ban` which has a payload with an optional `moderatorId` property:
* LogAction: {
* moderatorId?: string;
* };
* }
* }
*
I updated to this but it still doesn’t allow you to provide the payload. I just skipped the task and use TimerManager.setTimeout to do it without

Yeah, it seems the readme isn't updated. You have to provide the payload with the task name in the first argument https://github.com/sapphiredev/plugins/blob/d6024cd53f8f1d085788dcc7037c72add8a9291c/packages/scheduled-tasks/src/lib/ScheduledTaskHandler.ts#L88

something like this:
this.container.tasks.create({ name: 'delete-message', payload: { message } }, { delay: offset })
this.container.tasks.create({ name: 'delete-message', payload: { message } }, { delay: offset })
