Is it possible to have 2 bots in voice channels in discord js?

I registered two clients. I attempt to connect each to a voice channel, and after the first bot connects, the second will not connect. Additionally, getVoiceConnection returns a voice connection when the second bot attempts to connect

Each bot runs this in its client
export function initClient(token: string, botId: string) {
// If client already exists, destroy it and create a new one
if (botId in clientCache) {
console.warn(`Bot with ID ${botId} already exists.`);
const oldClient = clientCache[botId]
oldClient.destroy();
delete clientCache[botId];
}

try {
// Create client and add to cache to deal with resets, etc
const client = createClient();
clientCache[botId] = client;

// Setup client
errorEvent(client);
clientReadyEvent(client, "@ me to talk!!");
messageCreateEvent(client, botId);
loginClient(client, token);
} catch (e) {
console.log("error init")
}

}
export function initClient(token: string, botId: string) {
// If client already exists, destroy it and create a new one
if (botId in clientCache) {
console.warn(`Bot with ID ${botId} already exists.`);
const oldClient = clientCache[botId]
oldClient.destroy();
delete clientCache[botId];
}

try {
// Create client and add to cache to deal with resets, etc
const client = createClient();
clientCache[botId] = client;

// Setup client
errorEvent(client);
clientReadyEvent(client, "@ me to talk!!");

} catch (e) {

[email protected] | [email protected] Any help would be greatly appreciated ty ty! Figrued it out Thanks @Qjuh , just got that figured out! Is there a certain reason for not running more than one bot on a node server? I was thinking it might be a good way to share the underlying resources
