Send a message in a specific channel?

I copy pasted the guide and it doesn't work. Maybe there are some errors? 
import { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Partials  } from "discord.js"
...
const channel = client.channels.cache.get("1274810907113029664");
const timePassed = 0

setInterval(() => {
    channel.send(`${timePassed} minutes has passed`);
    timePassed++
}, 1 * 60 * 1000);
import { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Partials  } from "discord.js"
...
const channel = client.channels.cache.get("1274810907113029664");
const timePassed = 0

setInterval(() => {
    channel.send(`${timePassed} minutes has passed`);
    timePassed++
}, 1 * 60 * 1000);
channel.send(`${timePassed} minutes has passed`);
        ^

here are my intents 
const client = new Client ({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
    ],
    partials: [
        Partials.Channel
    ],
})
const client = new Client ({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
    ],
    partials: [
        Partials.Channel
    ],
})
apparently not the error comes out before the client successfully logs in i'm kinda nodejs newbie so apologies if i'm making nodejs mistakes instead of discordjs mistakes, if i do, please refer me to a documentation that i can read ...it worked. can you tell me how before i mark the post as solved? both seemed the same for me. i see. thank you for helping me.
