Handling EResult 7 After Calling joinChat Method?

I am trying to build a basic group chat bot. At the moment it looks like this..

var User = require('steam-user')
var bot = new User()

bot.logOn({
  'accountName': process.env.USERNAME,
  'password': process.env.PASSWORD
})

bot.on('loggedOn', function (res) {
  console.log('Logged in!')
  console.log(res)
  bot.setPersona(User.EPersonaState.Online)
})

bot.on('webSession', function (sessionID, cookies) {
  console.log('Got a web session!')
})

bot.on('friendMessage', function (steamID, message) {
  console.log(`message from ${steamID.getSteam3RenderedID()}: ${message}`)
})

bot.on('chatInvite', function (inviterID, chatroomID) {
  bot.joinChat(chatroomID, function (eresult) {
    console.log(eresult)
  })
})

bot.on('error', function (e) {
  console.log(e)
})

The call to the joinChat method is successful but the EResult is a 7 - "InvalidProtocolVer". I've been searching for information about how to handle this type of error and was hoping that maybe someone here has encountered it before.

Bummer. I've tried clearing npm cache, and even reinstalling Node. I think I'm going to try pushing to a remote and see if there isn't just something stupid happening with my local environment.

 

EDIT: I've now tried the same script on a fresh DigitalOcean droplet and I still get InvalidProtocolVer trying to join a chat.

 

FINAL EDIT: Well this is embarrassing..

 

I tried the above script with my own credentials and it worked! So I started investigating differences between my account, and the bot account.

Which ultimately led me to this. I was receiving the error because the bot was a limited user.

 

I added funds to its Steam wallet and it works as expected.
