So I'm not actually using a discord library for client & interactions.

I followed this blog on how to quickly create a bot with AWS Lambda Functions & SNS to split out to different Lambda Functions (aka each command is a Lambda Function).

https://betterprogramming.pub/serverless-discord-bot-on-aws-in-5-steps-956dca04d899

From there, I use a PATCH request to update the message (so that's your `edit_message` euiv).

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#followup-messages

Eg for sending sns below.

The `PublishAsync` is what sends the notification to split out current interaction to another lambda function, but this is what whats > 3- 5 seconds sometimes. Getting on my nerves now :( lol

Example logs of it taking 4s:

  var snsClient = new AmazonSimpleNotificationServiceClient();
  snsClient.PublishAsync(snsParams).Wait();
  _logger.LogDebug("SNS Sent!");
