Unable to get property 'id' of undefined or null reference - [email protected]

When turning on the Discord bot, I get this TypeError:

I'm aware that I should update but I have to remain on v11.6.4 because I'm using node-chakracore and apparently versions past v12 don't work (v14 didn't for me)... Other ppl had this issue before but I couldn't find a solution. The bot does connect to discord but it doesn't receive any message event for example. node -v says v20.12.2
