Message.startThread fails with: DiscordAPIError[10008]: Unknown Message

I'm sending a message to the channel using channel.send, awaiting it and saving it to a variable called sentMessage. Then executing .startThread() but it fails with:

ode:events:497
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Here's the code:

const sentMessage = await message.channel.send(toSend);

// create thread
const thread = await message.startThread({
  name: "food-talk",
  autoArchiveDuration: ThreadAutoArchiveDuration.OneHour,
  reason: "Needed a separate thread for food",
});

const sentMessage = await message.channel.send(toSend);

// create thread
const thread = await message.startThread({
  name: "food-talk",
  autoArchiveDuration: ThreadAutoArchiveDuration.OneHour,
  reason: "Needed a separate thread for food",
});
