Cannot read properties of null when editing a automod rule

Description When attempting to update an automod rule i get an error from discord.js that it can not read properties of null when reading 'autoModerationRules'. Package discord.js@14.14.1 Node v20.7.0 Code

const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId);
const automodRule = await guild.autoModerationRules.fetch(ruleId);
const result = await automodRule.edit(ruleConfig);

const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId);
const automodRule = await guild.autoModerationRules.fetch(ruleId);
const result = await automodRule.edit(ruleConfig);

Both guild and automodRule exist and return valid objects Error

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'autoModerationRules')
    at AutoModerationRule.edit (<REDACTED>\node_modules\discord.js\src\structures\AutoModerationRule.js:146:23)

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'autoModerationRules')
    at AutoModerationRule.edit (<REDACTED>\node_modules\discord.js\src\structures\AutoModerationRule.js:146:23)

The above leads to the following method, with the cursor after the . after the guild

  /**
   * Edits this auto moderation rule.
   * @param {AutoModerationRuleEditOptions} options Options for editing this auto moderation rule
   * @returns {Promise<AutoModerationRule>}
   */
  edit(options) {
    return this.guild.autoModerationRules.edit(this.id, options);
                     ^
  }

  /**
   * Edits this auto moderation rule.
   * @param {AutoModerationRuleEditOptions} options Options for editing this auto moderation rule
   * @returns {Promise<AutoModerationRule>}
   */
  edit(options) {
    return this.guild.autoModerationRules.edit(this.id, options);
                     ^
  }

Any help would be appreciate, i am not sure what is causing this issue, thanks in advance.
