Thread fetchStarterMessage with Attachments

Working on a bot that detects when a thread is created in a particular forum, and then returns the first starter message (original post message created by OP). All works well with the code below, until an image is uploaded in which I get the error: DiscordAPIError[10008]: Unknown Message. Is there a way for me to get the image data (e.g. a link to it) when the message is created? My guess is that the message is taking longer to generate since there is a attachment included. How can I resolve this? Thanks.

const { ChannelType } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  name: "threadCreate",
  async execute(thread, client) {
    if (thread.type === ChannelType.PublicThread && thread.parentId === process.env.BUG_FORUM_ID) {
      const message = await thread.fetchStarterMessage();
      console.log(message);
    }
  },
};

const { ChannelType } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  name: "threadCreate",
  async execute(thread, client) {
    if (thread.type === ChannelType.PublicThread && thread.parentId === process.env.BUG_FORUM_ID) {
      const message = await thread.fetchStarterMessage();
      console.log(message);
    }
  },
};

~~message.attachments dont work?~~ ah just saw the error. Def add a timeout You could add a set time out then fetch it

yep youre 100% right wrapped it in a setTimeout and it worked is there a better way to do that though then specifying for it to timeout say 3 seconds i guess there isnt necessarily anything wrong with it

I don't think, i faced similar thing before when my bot used to send message on each new thread. Sometimes, the starter message gets delayed
