Editing message

I am making a bot that will update a message every hour, the code works so far but when trying to edit the message it gives the error that the command or function is not found and wfter a bit of looking i couldn#t find the problem: Header:

const { Client, Intents, GatewayIntentBits, IntentsBitField} = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds, IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent], autoReconnect: true });

const { Client, Intents, GatewayIntentBits, IntentsBitField} = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds, IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent], autoReconnect: true });

Creating message:

countDownMsg = client.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === 'announcements-‧₊˚✩').send(`# NEXT STAIRCLIMB <t:${nextHourS}:R> #`);

countDownMsg = client.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === 'announcements-‧₊˚✩').send(`# NEXT STAIRCLIMB <t:${nextHourS}:R> #`);

Editing message:

countDownMsg.edit(`# NEXT STAIRCLIMB <t:${nextHourS}:R> #\nLast one  <t:${lastHourS}:R>`)
        .then(msg => console.log(`Updated the content of a message to ${msg.content}`))
        .catch(console.error);

countDownMsg.edit(`# NEXT STAIRCLIMB <t:${nextHourS}:R> #\nLast one  <t:${lastHourS}:R>`)
        .then(msg => console.log(`Updated the content of a message to ${msg.content}`))
        .catch(console.error);

Error:
