How to change Discord bot Nickname?

I need my bot to be changing name depending on the price and movement of the price. I can't use username because bot will stop working because limit of changing usernames. I found out that Nicknames should be fine, however i can't make it work.

client.once('ready', () => {
  rp(requestOptions).then(response => {
    const answer = JSON.parse(response)
    console.log('API Call response:', answer["data"]["3501"]["quote"]);
    const percent_change_24h = answer["data"]["3501"]["quote"]["USD"]["percent_change_24h"];
    const price = answer["data"]["3501"]["quote"]["USD"]["price"]; 
  client.user.setNickname("Coin Price" + price.toFixed(5) + "$");
  client.user.setActivity(percent_change_24h + "%", { type: "PLAYING" });
  console.log('Ready!');
  }).catch((err) => {
  console.log('API Call error:', err.message);
  });
});

// Login to Discord with your client's token
client.login(config.token);

Error: API Call error: client.user.setNickname is not a function

What is the correct keyword to change bot nickname? (NOT USERNAME)

To change the bot's nickname in every server it's in, you could loop through all guilds in the onReady event. For example:

client.once("ready", () => {

    client.guilds.cache.forEach(guild => {
        guild.me.setNickname("New Nickname");
    });
});

I'd be careful changing the nickname rapidly as it may result in temporary rate limits.
