            } catch (error) {
                console.error('Error:', error);

                if (error.response && error.response.status === 403) {
                    // Handle Missing Permissions error (code 50013) by logging without stopping the bot
                    console.error('Bot is missing permissions in this channel');
                    message.channel.send('Sorry, I don\'t have the necessary permissions to respond in this channel.');
                } else {
                    // Log other errors and inform the user
                    console.error('Unhandled error occurred:', error);

        }
    } catch (outerError) {
        console.error('Unhandled exception in messageCreate event handler:', outerError);
    }

is my bot going offline after permissions error my VPS fault or discord.js's fault??
i am so confused
i just want it to log it in console or the channel that it is missing permissions and continue working and not going offline instantly.

What's your exact discord.js

npm list discord.js

npm list discord.js

and node

node -v

You can also check the permissions Member (including the bot) has for a channel to try and avoid this happening, and alert yourself in other ways; such as if you start sending messages to servers.

It might be possible with some form of global listener...but even if it is, it'd be my recommendation to defensivly code and account for the perms being missing.

If you ignore all errors through a global catcher, you'll end up not knowing when things stop working.

So instead of catching all errors, try and avoid them.

Check if the Bot has perms, don't just catch if it doesn't
