You would have to upgrade your node version. You may add the following to your package.json:

"engines": {
    "node": "16.9.1",
  }

And redeploy your project and it would work

Discord.js v13 needs AbortController to function, but it was only introduced in node versions 16 and above. You have two options to fix this error:

  • Upgrade your node version on heroku to 16 or above

  • Use a polyfill for your AbortController , AbortController-polyfill is a package to do that, you may utilise it like so:

const { AbortController } = require('abortcontroller-polyfill/dist/cjs-ponyfill');
global.AbortController = AbortController;
