Discord.NET cannot view invite uses

I've been trying out Discord.NET and also tried to implement an invite tracking feature. While implementing this, I attempted to access the uses of an invite link, however, it always just returned 0 while the value should have been 3 in reality. I simplified the code as much as possible and the issue persisted.

DiscordSocketClient client;

DiscordSocketConfig config = new DiscordSocketConfig
{
    GatewayIntents = GatewayIntents.All
};

client = new(config);

await client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, TOKEN);

await client.StartAsync();

IInviteMetadata invite = await client.GetInviteAsync("nrqJHqKPM2"); // Invite now deleted

Console.WriteLine($"Uses: {invite.Uses}"); // Uses: 0

DiscordSocketClient client;

DiscordSocketConfig config = new DiscordSocketConfig
{
    GatewayIntents = GatewayIntents.All
};

client = new(config);

await client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, TOKEN);

await client.StartAsync();

IInviteMetadata invite = await client.GetInviteAsync("nrqJHqKPM2"); // Invite now deleted

Console.WriteLine($"Uses: {invite.Uses}"); // Uses: 0

The bot has Administrator permissions and all privileged intents enabled on the discord developer platform. I haven't heard anything about needing another scope, but I have the bot and the unrelated applications.commands scopes enabled. Yes, i have also opened the generated link after changing the permissions and authorized the change. I also had the same issue with reading the contents of messages, though I have not tested this feature again. Thanks for any help in advance!

I won't be staying up now so I hope I provided all necessary information.

Sounds like a default value to me, try to wrap this into a try catch blog and print out possible exceptions

Yes, it's the default value. The code runs fine and doesn't throw any Exceptions.
