Voice channel name change fails silently after 2 successful attempts

I'm using a bot with

Administrator

Administrator

permissions to rename a voice channel via

channel.setName()

channel.setName()

. The first two attempts work fine, but from the third attempt onward, the name doesn't change — and no error is thrown.

Here’s the relevant code snippet:

const guild = await interaction.guild?.fetch();
const channelFetch = await guild?.channels.fetch(tempVoice.id) as VoiceChannel;

await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, 5000));
console.log("🔧 Changing name...");
await channelFetch.setName(newName).catch((e) => console.log("❌ Error changing name", e));
console.log("✅ Name changed!");
await tempVoice.save();

const guild = await interaction.guild?.fetch();
const channelFetch = await guild?.channels.fetch(tempVoice.id) as VoiceChannel;

await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, 5000));
console.log("🔧 Changing name...");
await channelFetch.setName(newName).catch((e) => console.log("❌ Error changing name", e));
console.log("✅ Name changed!");
await tempVoice.save();

As shown, there’s a 5-second delay and a

.catch()

.catch()

block — but no error is logged, and

✅ Name changed!

✅ Name changed!

appears in the console, even though the name doesn’t actually change in Discord.

Tested on multiple servers. The bot has full

Administrator

Administrator

permissions and no permission issues are present.

Expected: The channel name should change every time after the cooldown, not just for the first two tries.
