Inconsistent API Response ?

I have an Bot who should create an text channel Before creating the Channel, I check if the Bot has permission on the guild and additionally in the category I want to create the textchannel in Both of these checks return true

if (!await PermissionUtil.hasNeededDiscordPermissions(guild.members.me, PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageChannels)) return null;
--
const missingPermissions = permissionArray.filter(permission => !member.permissions.has(permission)); --> Empty
--

        
if (category && !await PermissionUtil.hasNeededDiscordPermissionsInChannel(category, guild.members.me, [
    PermissionsBitField.Flags.ViewChannel,
    PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageChannels,
])) return null;
--
const missingPermissions = permissionArray.filter(permission => !channel.permissionsFor(member, true)?.has(permission)); --> Empty
--

if (!await PermissionUtil.hasNeededDiscordPermissions(guild.members.me, PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageChannels)) return null;
--
const missingPermissions = permissionArray.filter(permission => !member.permissions.has(permission)); --> Empty
--

        
if (category && !await PermissionUtil.hasNeededDiscordPermissionsInChannel(category, guild.members.me, [
    PermissionsBitField.Flags.ViewChannel,
    PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageChannels,
])) return null;
--
const missingPermissions = permissionArray.filter(permission => !channel.permissionsFor(member, true)?.has(permission)); --> Empty
--

If the Bot now makes the request onto the guild

return await guild.channels.create({
            name: name,
            type: channelType,
            parent: category,
            permissionOverwrites: permissions,
            reason: reason,
            position: position,
        })

return await guild.channels.create({
            name: name,
            type: channelType,
            parent: category,
            permissionOverwrites: permissions,
            reason: reason,
            position: position,
        })

The API returns an "Permissions missing error" even tho the Bot has both according to the previous checks ?

Am I doing something wrong or is this an discord error ? FYI: If I give the Bot administrator it works like a charm, if he only has ManageChannel, ViewChannel and ManageRoles it wont work Discord.js: 14.17.3 Node: 20.10.0

Formatting Discord Response Messages

Is there a way to modify the responses from Discord API wrapped by DiscordJS

GET /guilds/xxx/channels null -> 503 - Service Unavailable

GET /guilds/xxx/channels null -> 503 - Service Unavailable

If its possible, is there a way to define messages based on error code or URL patterns ?
