the code throwing is equivalent to the following:
export class someClass {
public createdAt!: number
}

//...

const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
//set a bold title
.setTitle('**EmbedTitle**')
.setDescription('SomeLongText')
.setFooter({ text: 'FooterText' })
.setTimestamp(classInstance.createdAt)
export class someClass {
public createdAt!: number
}

//...

const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
//set a bold title
.setTitle('**EmbedTitle**')
.setDescription('SomeLongText')
.setFooter({ text: 'FooterText' })
.setTimestamp(classInstance.createdAt)

I know you didnt type it as such but runtime says otherwise

man i hate js sometimes yup, explicitly casting my number to a number makes sure it's a number .setTimestamp(Number(classInstance.createdAt)) i assume the single quotes indicate that it's a string in that exception?

yeah also the fact that it says it expected a number but it wasn't, there was only one other thing that could've been formatted like that
