Bot becomes unresponsive after executing a slash command

Hello! I'm building a discord bot and I've got it functional up to the point of the slash command handler working for one iteration. After any user sends a slash command the bot becomes unresponsive I'm not sure where in my Logic the issue may be, so I'm going to post the relevant code blocks and maybe someone might be able to help me understand where I went wrong 🙂

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

I was worried about that too x.x sometimes it returns a positive value like 30 or so which seemed correct
