Goal: Find when the last message of a designated was send

How: Use property of User, lastmessageID, fetch the message corresponding to this ID to find the property createdTimestamp

Problem: I'm the only one in the was doesn't have the property lastmessageID equal to null even if the user had send message a few minute ago

Question: Is it coming from my coding or from Discord.js ? Is there a way to bypass this problem ?

NOTE: I know it's cached:

• When someone send a message while the bot is alive give the same result.

• For the sake of the test, I summon a bot that so I give me a"fresh" message when testing

CODE SAMPLE

every "..." is to protect personal data

SCRIPT

  function findID() {
    var IDarray = userm.users.map((user) => user.lastMessageID)
    console.log("IDarray: ", IDarray)
    var ID = IDarray[0]
    console.log("ID: ", ID)
    msg(ID)
  }

  function msg(lastmsgID) {
    var lastmsg = message.channel.messages.fetch(lastmsgID).then(message => time(message)).catch(console.error);
  }

  function time(msg){
    ...
  }

  findID();
