Its not possible to reuse / edit the same reply over and over again?

I reply to an initial Chatinput command with Ephemeral reply including an actionrow with interactive components. After interactions with these i want to edit the reply which is working fine but i then there will be an error because im not doing a new reply. Is there a way to avoid this ?

you can use editReply up until 15 minutes after the interaction

Yes i do, and like i said the content of the reply gets changed (i replace a stringselectMenu with some buttons) and then in the first button there are these animated dots (and disabled) and after a while theres this error "this interaction failed"

// Remove the components from the message
interaction.update({
  content: "A component interaction was received",
  components: []
