Maintaining connection after restarting node

I have a bot that would connect to a channel and play sounds. I have a slash command that would play one of the few sound files I have, it works fine but when I restart node it would stay in the channel but if I try doing anything it would say that the bot isn't in a voice channel and I would have to reconnect the bot to the voice channel. I get the connection using

const connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);

const connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);

though it would still return undefined even if the bot is in the channel (This is if I restarted node when the bot was already in a voice channel) Is there a way to keep the connection even if you restart node, because I sometimes have problems when the bot is on multiple servers and I restart node. Here's the full code of the command execute function

async execute(interaction) {
    try {
      const SoundPath = interaction.options.getString("sound-effect");
      const SoundResource = createAudioResource(SoundPath);

      const connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);

      console.log(`${connection} + ${interaction.guild.id}`);

      if (!connection) {
        console.log("Played Sound: Bot is not in a Voice Chanel");
        interaction.reply("Could not play sound effect");
        return;
      }

      const audioPlayer = createAudioPlayer();

      const subscription = connection.subscribe(audioPlayer);

      audioPlayer.play(SoundResource);

      if (subscription) {
        setTimeout(() => {
          audioPlayer.stop();
          subscription.unsubscribe(audioPlayer);
        }, 60_000);
      }

      interaction.reply({
        content: "Played sound effect",
        empheral: true,
      });
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(`Error, while playing sound effect`);
      interaction.reply("A error occured");
    }
  },

async execute(interaction) {
    try {
      const SoundPath = interaction.options.getString("sound-effect");
      const SoundResource = createAudioResource(SoundPath);

      const connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);

      console.log(`${connection} + ${interaction.guild.id}`);

      if (!connection) {
        console.log("Played Sound: Bot is not in a Voice Chanel");
        interaction.reply("Could not play sound effect");
        return;
      }

      const audioPlayer = createAudioPlayer();

      const subscription = connection.subscribe(audioPlayer);

      audioPlayer.play(SoundResource);

      if (subscription) {
        setTimeout(() => {
          audioPlayer.stop();
          subscription.unsubscribe(audioPlayer);
        }, 60_000);
      }

      interaction.reply({
        content: "Played sound effect",
        empheral: true,
      });
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(`Error, while playing sound effect`);
      interaction.reply("A error occured");
    }
  },

Node is version v21.6.0

No, there's not Unless you host it somewhere else It's impossible, as TCP of the other side will detect the connection is dead
