Cannot updateMessage after deferMessageUpdate (@discordjs/[email protected])

Hello, I'm running the following chain of interaction responses:

/// Original slash command interaction received
.defer(...)
.followUp(...)
// With this followUp, the slash command response is now a select menu.

/// Select menu interaction received
.deferMessageUpdate(...)
.updateMessage(...) // ERROR: Interaction has already been acknowledged.
// Also tried
,reply(...) // ERROR: Interaction has already been acknowledged.

/// Original slash command interaction received
.defer(...)
.followUp(...)
// With this followUp, the slash command response is now a select menu.

/// Select menu interaction received
.deferMessageUpdate(...)
.updateMessage(...) // ERROR: Interaction has already been acknowledged.
// Also tried
,reply(...) // ERROR: Interaction has already been acknowledged.

So the question is, how am i supposed to respond after a deferMessageUpdate, because for some reason updateMessage isn't working.

You should be using editReply

wait lemme try that one minute oh wow that works can someone explain why its editReply When is updateMessage used? Is that just for non-deferred component interactions?

updateMessage is a first-response also Anything after the initial response is then an "edit" In the same way that you cant deferReply > reply, you also cant deferMessageUpdate > update
