Player Auto-Pause

I have this music bot and I want it to pause the playback if it's alone in the voice channel. I've succeeded in doing that, but rn it pauses instantly after detecting that it's alone and I want it to wait for 3 seconds before doing that, so that if anybody joins during that time interval the bot doesn't need to pause. here's the code currently:

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
    const guildId = newState.guild.id;

    const connection = getVoiceConnection(guildId);
    const player = audioPlayers.get(guildId);

    try {
        if (player && connection) {
            const members = newState.channel?.members;
            
            if (!members || (members.size === 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Playing)) {
                // Pause audio when there are no members in the voice channel
                player.pause();
                console.log("!!Pausing!!");
            } else if (members && members.size > 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Paused) {
                // Resume audio when someone joins the voice channel
                player.unpause();
                console.log("!!Unpausing!!");
            }
        }
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error: ', err);
    }
});

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
    const guildId = newState.guild.id;

    const connection = getVoiceConnection(guildId);
    const player = audioPlayers.get(guildId);

    try {
        if (player && connection) {
            const members = newState.channel?.members;
            
            if (!members || (members.size === 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Playing)) {
                // Pause audio when there are no members in the voice channel
                player.pause();
                console.log("!!Pausing!!");
            } else if (members && members.size > 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Paused) {
                // Resume audio when someone joins the voice channel
                player.unpause();
                console.log("!!Unpausing!!");
            }
        }
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error: ', err);
    }
});

my discord.js version: [email protected] my node version: v20.1.0 can anyone help? I tried this

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
    const guildId = newState.guild.id;

    const connection = getVoiceConnection(guildId);
    const player = audioPlayers.get(guildId);

    try {
        if (player && connection) {
            const members = newState.channel?.members;
            
            if (!members || (members.size === 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Playing)) {
                // If there's a scheduled pause, clear it
                if (player.pauseTimeout) {
                    clearTimeout(player.pauseTimeout);
                    player.pauseTimeout = null;
                }
                // Schedule a pause after 3 seconds
                player.pauseTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
                    player.pause();
                    console.log("!!Pausing!!");
                }, 3000); // 3 seconds delay
            } else if (members && members.size > 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Paused) {
                // Clear the scheduled pause if someone joins the voice channel
                if (player.pauseTimeout) {
                    clearTimeout(player.pauseTimeout);
                    player.pauseTimeout = null;
                }
                player.unpause();
                console.log("!!Unpausing!!");
            }
        }
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error: ', err);
    }
});

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
    const guildId = newState.guild.id;

    const connection = getVoiceConnection(guildId);
    const player = audioPlayers.get(guildId);

    try {
        if (player && connection) {
            const members = newState.channel?.members;
            
            if (!members || (members.size === 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Playing)) {
                // If there's a scheduled pause, clear it
                if (player.pauseTimeout) {
                    clearTimeout(player.pauseTimeout);
                    player.pauseTimeout = null;
                }
                // Schedule a pause after 3 seconds
                player.pauseTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
                    player.pause();
                    console.log("!!Pausing!!");
                }, 3000); // 3 seconds delay
            } else if (members && members.size > 1 && player.state.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Paused) {
                // Clear the scheduled pause if someone joins the voice channel
                if (player.pauseTimeout) {
                    clearTimeout(player.pauseTimeout);
                    player.pauseTimeout = null;
                }
                player.unpause();
                console.log("!!Unpausing!!");
            }
        }
    } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error: ', err);
    }
});

and it does pause after 3 seconds but if someone joins in that 3 second interval bot still proceeds to pause and then doesn't resume playback until a user leaves and rejoins so do I use connection.joinConfig.channelId for that check? can you help out? I'm out of ideas actually nvm thanks for the advices I did the check with connection.joinConfig.channelId to see if the event is tied to bot's VC and then made flags for player timeouts and used setTimeout/clearTimeout logic it's working now
