[ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED]

Since a few days this error randomly occurs and the shard then goes offline. The error:

` It's doesn't occur when the bot is starting. I have a "live leaderboard" which is sent every hour (with node-cron). In that file I use the broadcastEval function. I think the error sometimes occurs when the broadcastEval function is called. But not always and only on some shards. Maybe a little more info about the bot. It is on round about 8500 guilds and has 9 shards. I use node version 18.20.3. With my test bot is doesn't happen. I tried this fix but it didn't work for me. (When I changed sharding mode to "worker" some things didn't work) Do you have any idea how to solve that issue? Thanks in advance :D

If you need any more information just ask :D I thought the ShardingManager thing would be the easiest to do didn't knew that there are other possibilities.

But isn't internal sharding more for bots with less guilds?

ah okay, so would you recommend using internal sharding? The priveleged intents or the "normal intents"? Okay thanks are there some intents which aren't possible to use in internal sharding? okay thanks for your help
