Fetching webhook breaks inconsistently

I have a command that takes a webhook URL and should do something (haven't gotten there yet) with it. It works fine if I start up the bot and call it on a valid URL.

However, if I call this command on a webhook URL with an invalid token, then when I call the command again with a valid URL, it does not work until I restart the bot.

This is the core of the code:

const webhook_url = cmd.options.getString("webhook");
const match = webhook_url.match(
    /https:\/\/discord\.com\/api\/webhooks\/(\d+)\/(.+)/
);

if (!match) {
    return fail("That does not appear to be a valid webhook URL.");
}

console.log(match[1], match[2]);

let webhook;

try {
    webhook = await cmd.client.fetchWebhook(match[1], match[2]);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    return fail(
        "That webhook does not exist, or the token is invalid (make sure you copy-pasted correctly)."
    );
}

return "OK";


The error I get when I use it on an invalid URL is this:

DiscordAPIError[50027]: Invalid Webhook Token

  code: 50027,
  status: 401,
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'https://discord.com/api/v10/webhooks/(ID)/(TOKEN)'
}


Then, when I use it on the correct URL with the correct token, I get the following:

Except, the console.log(match[1], match[2]) indicates that I am providing the token in the Client#fetchWebhook call.
