Im trying to make a greater than query but it always returns an empty array.

    const productSchema = require("./productsSchema");
const getProductsGreaterThan = async (minimum_id) => {
try{
    console.log(minimum_id);
    const productById = await productSchema.find({id: {$gt:minimum_id}});
    return productById
}
catch(err){
    console.error(err);
}
}

This is my controller:

if (req.params.minimum_id) {
    const productsById = await productsModel.getProductsGreaterThan(req.params.minimum_id);
    res.status(200).json(productsById);
}

It should return the products with an ID greater than what i type in the req.params...

routes.get("/products/:minimum_id?",productRoutes.getProductsGreaterThan);

But when i write the route like this in the url it gives me an empty array => http://localhost:3000/products/10 What is wrong with this code? Im very confused, because other queries like find({}) work. My mongoose version is 6.2.10.
