I ran into this weird problem where the channel object would return null.

the channel causing issues is vrc-bans in this case the code here is just 
const channel = await client.channels.fetch(channelId, { force: true });
console.log(channel)
console.log(channel?.name)
console.log(channelId)
const channel = await client.channels.fetch(channelId, { force: true });
console.log(channel)
console.log(channel?.name)
console.log(channelId)
On other channels like vrc-kicks it works fine [email protected] node v23.8.0

-# Ping on reply ty I ran it outside of the function what was using it by doing 
await client.channels.fetch("1345717015276687370", { force: true });
await client.channels.fetch("1345717015276687370", { force: true });
and that works... wird, i will investigate further ooo watch it because client isn't initialized yet- HOLD ON YEP... that was the issue. I have seperate handlers for initializing stuff and since this was in the VRChat handler and not the discord handler it obviously did not wait for the client to be ready
