Discord Changes to Autofill - Invalid Entry Since Recent Discord Client Update

Hello. In the latest discord update, I've gotten reports from clients that they are unable to use one of my bots atm due to autocomplete saying that the input is invalid.

This is for a lookup command which populates suggested entries. If the entry doesn't appear in the suggestion, thats ok, its a suggestion anyway.

According to the documentation.
https://discordjs.guide/slash-commands/autocomplete.html#responding-to-autocomplete-interactions

"Unlike static choices, autocompletion suggestions are not enforced, and users may still enter free text."

This has not been a problem prior to this client patch. Something is now preventing the client from inputting values IF the autocomplete doesn't show any results.

This is a problem because I'm now tasked with disabling autocomplete as a work around having to remove a feature from the bot due to some clientside change that I can't see any note about in the documentation or discord patch changes.
