Can't edit a message in DM sent by bot

- [email protected] and node version v18.10.0 I'm trying to edit a message in DM sent by the bot via a button press. the button event looks like the following (skipped parts not relevant for this question):

async function refreshReminder(interaction: ButtonInteraction<CacheType>) {    
    interaction.message.edit({ embeds: [reminderEmbed] });
    interaction.deferUpdate();
}

async function refreshReminder(interaction: ButtonInteraction<CacheType>) {    
    interaction.message.edit({ embeds: [reminderEmbed] });
    interaction.deferUpdate();
}

This results in the following error:

    if (!this.channel) return Promise.reject(new DiscordjsError(ErrorCodes.ChannelNotCached));
                                             ^
Error [ChannelNotCached]: Could not find the channel where this message came from in the cache!

}

    if (!this.channel) return Promise.reject(new DiscordjsError(ErrorCodes.ChannelNotCached));
                                             ^

I also tried a solution i found on stackoverflow from 2021 that looks like the following:

    const user = client.users.cache.get(userId);
    user?.dmChannel?.messages.fetch(messageId).then(dmMessage => {
    dmMessage.edit('edited!');
    });
    interaction.deferUpdate();

    const user = client.users.cache.get(userId);
    user?.dmChannel?.messages.fetch(messageId).then(dmMessage => {
    dmMessage.edit('edited!');
    });
    interaction.deferUpdate();

however, this results in the dmChannel property being null and thus not working either
