Getting 'Missing Access' error when deleting channel even with ManageChannels permission

Hey, I am rather stumped with this one and thought this would be the best place to ask for help. I am trying to delete a voice channel inside a category, the category has a permission override to give the bot the 'ManageChannels' permission, it is able to create channels in that category but doesn't seem to be able to delete them?? Relevant code:

// debug
const me = discordChannel.guild.members.me
console.log(discordChannel.parentId, ChannelType[discordChannel.type], discordChannel.permissionsFor(me!).toArray())

// delete channel:
await discordChannel.delete("Deleting voice channels associated to event channel")

// debug
const me = discordChannel.guild.members.me
console.log(discordChannel.parentId, ChannelType[discordChannel.type], discordChannel.permissionsFor(me!).toArray())

// delete channel:
await discordChannel.delete("Deleting voice channels associated to event channel")

Find debug log and error attached

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

Node version: v20.8.1 If a wider range of the code would be helpful then let me know! (fyi: can confirm that category id and channel id match)

I don't think I see a view channel permission on that array..

Just tried it with view channel, doesn't make a difference

I don't see permissions to 'Connect' Discord uses Implicit Permissions

d.js docs•3mo ago

Suggestion for @SyntheticDev: :guide: Popular Topics: Permissions (extended) - Implicit permissions read more

It doesn't have permission to connect, therefore it can't manage it It's the same as ViewChannel for Text based channels
