Message collector sending an error when two people send a message at the same time

When two people send a message at the exact same time I get an "unknow message" error, is there any way to prevent that ?

My code :

if (interaction.commandName === "start2") {
        const player = interaction.options.get('player').value;
        const time = interaction.options.get('time').value;
        const startingPrice = interaction.options.get('starting_price').value;
    
        let currentPrice = startingPrice;
        let lastBidder = null;
        let countdown = time;
        let countdownInterval = null;
        let countdownMessage = null;
        let collector = null;
    
        await interaction.reply(`Auction started for **${player}**!\nStarting price: **${startingPrice}**`);
    
        const startCountdown = async () => {
            if (countdownInterval) {
                clearInterval(countdownInterval);
            }
    
            if (countdownMessage) {
                await countdownMessage.delete();
            }
    
            countdown = time;
    
            countdownMessage = await interaction.channel.send(`Time left: ${countdown} seconds`);
    
            countdownInterval = setInterval(async () => {
                if (countdown > 0) {
                    countdown--;

                    collector.stop();

How do you know to which auction the user is betting to if there're 2 active ones in the channel? You need to separate your auctions. Eg with threads. And for time you can use Discord timestamps <t:1724323611:R>
