Cannot Receive Direct Messages

messageCreate doesn't seem to fire when I DM the bot

const DiscordClient = new Client({ intents: ["DirectMessages", "Guilds"] })

DiscordClient.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
    console.log("message")
})

DiscordClient.on("interactionCreate", (interaction) => {
    console.log("interaction")
})

DiscordClient.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("Logged in!")
})

DiscordClient.login(token)

const DiscordClient = new Client({ intents: ["DirectMessages", "Guilds"] })

DiscordClient.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
    console.log("message")
})

DiscordClient.on("interactionCreate", (interaction) => {
    console.log("interaction")
})

DiscordClient.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("Logged in!")
})

DiscordClient.login(token)

DiscordAPIError: Cannot send messages to this user Your bot is trying to send a DM to a user, but failed to do so: - The user has DMs disabled or the bot blocked - The user no longer shares a guild with the bot (make sure to send informational DMs before banning/kicking) - The bot is trying to DM itself or another bot Note: You cannot check if you can send a DM beforehand but have to handle the rejection case Mass DMing users is not allowed as per developer ToS, considered spam and can get you and your bot banned. - Mention @everyone to inform all your users at once instead - Discord Developer Terms of Service: learn more | FAQ summary To receive direct message events on "messageCreate" with your bot, you will need: - The DirectMessages gateway intent - The Channel partial setting Bots cannot send messages in partial group dm channels. Use if ('send' in channel) or compare channel.type to mitigate this. A fix will be implemented in 14.16.2, where you can use channel.isSendable()
