Issue with Purge command in Discord.py

Question

Pretty much, for some reason the actual purging works, but it wont send the response embed after its purged. Sometimes it does, sometimes it just spams terminal with errors.

Heres is my code:

@tree.command(name= "purge", description="Purge messages in a channel", guild=discord.Object(id=guildId))
@app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def purge(interaction, limit: int):
    await interaction.channel.purge(limit=limit)
    embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Purged {limit} message(s)", color=0x3375FF)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

Honestly, im not too sure what is wrong with it. I tried it without an embed and that still didnt work.

It might be that your interaction is timing out. Perhaps try deferring and then using the followup property to send your message later.

@tree.command(name= "purge", description="Purge messages in a channel", guild=discord.Object(id=guildId))
@app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def purge(interaction, limit: int):
    await interaction.response.defer()
    await interaction.channel.purge(limit=limit)
    embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Purged {limit} message(s)", color=0x3375FF)
    await interaction.channel.send(embed=embed)
