how to use @silent (flag 4096) on a deferred interaction reply?

Heya, I'm trying to make a silent message that has to be deferred (because it takes longer to finish). I am using the "flags: [ 4096 ]" approach, I'm not aware of any others. When I just reply to the message, the silent flag is used, but when I use deferReply() - also tried to push { flags } options into it, same results - it doesn't process the flag and the following message (even if it's containing the flag as well) also fails to apply. Any ideas about what could I do to? [email protected]

example: This works:

async execute(interaction) {
  await interaction.reply({ content: "This msg is silent!", flags: 4096 });
}

async execute(interaction) {
  await interaction.reply({ content: "This msg is silent!", flags: 4096 });
}

This doesn't work:

async execute(interaction) {
  await interaction.deferReply({ flags: 4096 });
  return setTimeout(() => {
    interaction.editReply({ content: "This is sadly not silent.", flags: 4096 });
  }, 3000);
}

async execute(interaction) {
  await interaction.deferReply({ flags: 4096 });
  return setTimeout(() => {
    interaction.editReply({ content: "This is sadly not silent.", flags: 4096 });
  }, 3000);
}

works for me in normal messages, so I doubt that it would make a major difference, but sure I'll try the latest

I kinda suspected that, since I couldn't find any info in docs... so, no way around that?

other than sending a silent dummy message in advance and then editing it, i guess basically deferReply from Wish xd Alright then, thanks for your time and have a good day!
