Message.startThread: Missing Access

I'm doing something like this:

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    // How many flags do I need to start a new thread and attach it to the startmessage it's branching off of?
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageTyping,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageReactions,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildIntegrations,x
  ],
});

client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
  const announcement = await interaction.reply({
    content: `## Announcement`,
    fetchReply: true,
  });

  const thread = await announcement.startThread({
    name: 'Announcement',
  });
});

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    // How many flags do I need to start a new thread and attach it to the startmessage it's branching off of?
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageTyping,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageReactions,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildIntegrations,x
  ],
});

client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
  const announcement = await interaction.reply({
    content: `## Announcement`,
    fetchReply: true,
  });

  const thread = await announcement.startThread({
    name: 'Announcement',
  });
});

And I'm getting a response like this:

DiscordAPIError[50001]: Missing Access

      invitable: undefined,
      rate_limit_per_user: undefined
    }
  },

  code: 50001,

}

My PermissionsBitField looks like this:

PermissionsBitField { bitfield: 560750900276855n }

PermissionsBitField { bitfield: 560750900276855n }

Omg, the bot's role was literally not allowed to view the channel. Thanks for the hint! I am unable to mark this post as solved though?
