'sharding is required' error, with sharding

recently upgraded to the latest version of discord.js. using the default ShardingManager that djs offers, but when I start up my bot, i still spontaneously get errors of "Error: Sharding is required" from the websocket.js file
(context: 45 shards, ~104,500 servers, djs v14.11.0, node.js v16.17.0)
