- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

That's not always feasible. There is a 100 message limit when fetching, and doing so in a recursive fashion can hit rate limits real quickly

if possible it would probably be better to just download all the current images, and automatically save new ones posted, then pick a random image from a folder, rather than searching the channel every time
