How do I convert this a permission int into an PermissionString[]

Hello, I am watching the GuildAuditLogEntryCreate event and when a permission is updated i am getting this in the entry changes: [ { key: 'permissions', old: 8797166764176, new: 8797166764160 } ], I want to see which permissions has been changes so I hhave seen on the documentation that I can use PermissionsBitsField, I wrote this

 
 if (e.key == 'permissions') {
  let oldPerm = new PermissionsBitField(e.old).toArray()
  let newPerm = new PermissionsBitField(e.new).toArray() 
  console.log({ oldPerm, newPerm })
}

 
 if (e.key == 'permissions') {
  let oldPerm = new PermissionsBitField(e.old).toArray()
  let newPerm = new PermissionsBitField(e.new).toArray() 
  console.log({ oldPerm, newPerm })
}

But I am getting an error and I dont know what I am doing wrong, thanks for the help RangeError [BitFieldInvalid]: Invalid bitfield flag or number: 8797166764176.

PermissionsBitField takes BigInt, not number

Not sure why you aren’t even getting it as string Afaik, Discord provides permissions as string Unless ur on an outdated version
