Invite Permission Issue

(@ to reply) (repost from #djs-help-v14 but escalating) I am having an issue creating an invite using discord.js v14.14.1 When the bot has administrator permissions this code works just fine, but when the bot is added to a server with the CreateInstantInvite and no admin permissions I get a DiscordAPIError[50013]: Missing Permissions error. This has been reproduced in a few other servers and I've had the same issue

// events/interaction.js

// * Imports
const { Events, EmbedBuilder, PermissionFlagsBits } = require("discord.js");

// Event handling ...

// * CreateInvite Button Interaction

// Check perms
const botPermissions =
    await interaction.guild.members.me.permissionsIn(
        interaction.channel
    );

const hasInvPerm = botPermissions.has(
    PermissionFlagsBits.CreateInstantInvite
); // ! Returns true when testing

// If no perms
if (!hasInvPerm) {
    const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setColor(config.colors.secondary)
        .setDescription(
            `${config.emojis.no} I do not have the needed permissions to create an invite.`
        );
    return interaction.reply({
        embeds: [embed],
        ephemeral: true,
    });
}

// Delete and create invite
const invites = await interaction.guild.invites.fetch();

const botInvites = invites.filter(
    (invite) =>
        invite.inviter.id === interaction.client.user.id
);

const invite = await interaction.guild.invites.create(
    interaction.channel.id,
    { maxAge: 0 }
);

// events/interaction.js

// * Imports
const { Events, EmbedBuilder, PermissionFlagsBits } = require("discord.js");

// Event handling ...

// * CreateInvite Button Interaction

// Check perms
const botPermissions =
    await interaction.guild.members.me.permissionsIn(
        interaction.channel
    );

const hasInvPerm = botPermissions.has(
    PermissionFlagsBits.CreateInstantInvite
); // ! Returns true when testing

// If no perms
if (!hasInvPerm) {
    const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setColor(config.colors.secondary)
        .setDescription(
            `${config.emojis.no} I do not have the needed permissions to create an invite.`
        );
    return interaction.reply({
        embeds: [embed],
        ephemeral: true,
    });
}

// Delete and create invite
const invites = await interaction.guild.invites.fetch();

const botInvites = invites.filter(
    (invite) =>
        invite.inviter.id === interaction.client.user.id
);

const invite = await interaction.guild.invites.create(
    interaction.channel.id,
    { maxAge: 0 }
);

When logging permissions I get this

console.log(await botPermissions.toArray());

console.log(await botPermissions.toArray());

I've removed the irrelevant parts of my code, but if you think anything is of interest let me know and I'll send it.
