401 error on get request

I'm trying to get a list of all of my guild application commands for this bot but I'm getting a 401 error on this rest request and i haven't the slightest idea why. Code:

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';

const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.TEMPLATE_TOKEN);
var data;

try{
    data = await rest.get(
        Routes.applicationGuildCommands(
          process.env.TEMPLATE_CLIENT_ID, 
          process.env.TEMPLATE_GUILD_ID
        )
    );
    console.log(data);
}
catch(error){
    console.log(error);
}

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';

const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.TEMPLATE_TOKEN);
var data;

try{
    data = await rest.get(
        Routes.applicationGuildCommands(
          process.env.TEMPLATE_CLIENT_ID, 
          process.env.TEMPLATE_GUILD_ID
        )
    );
    console.log(data);
}
catch(error){
    console.log(error);
}

Error:

I'm loading the environment variables using dotenv (which I've confirmed loads them). I've tried regenerating the token and giving my bot application-commands scope in OAuth but neither worked. I'm using node v21.5.0 and djs v14.14.1. Probably an easy answer, but i appreciate any guidance you can give, I'm quite new to this bot stuff :D

heres the full code, i just left out the dotenv because i didnt think it was relevant to the issue

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';
import 'dotenv/config.js';


try{
    const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.TEMPLATE_TOKEN);
    var data;
    data = await rest.get(
        Routes.applicationCommands(process.env.TEMPLATE_CLIENT_ID)
    );
    console.log(data);
}
catch(error){
    console.log(error);
}

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';
import 'dotenv/config.js';


try{
    const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.TEMPLATE_TOKEN);
    var data;
    data = await rest.get(
        Routes.applicationCommands(process.env.TEMPLATE_CLIENT_ID)
    );
    console.log(data);
}
catch(error){
    console.log(error);
}

I confirmed it by console logging my whole process.env object before the try catch block and all of the variables in my env file appear in the output ive reset the token twice and it still hasn't worked. I've also made sure the bot is in the guild that im quering. I've even tried it with global commands and it still 401s yep, they are from the same application in the dev portal

also ignore my horrid touchpad paint job :Hehe: they've been the same because ive had this bot running in the past, and i've even put commands on the bot before. For whatever reason it just works now though so idk, maybe i did do something wrong
