Explanation:

1.	Voice Connection Timeout Handling: Added a timeout handling mechanism to wait for the connection to become ready.
2.	Reconnection Logic: Implemented logic to handle reconnection attempts if the connection is disrupted.
3.	Updated to @discordjs/voice: Using the latest voice library to handle voice connections more reliably.
4.	Improved Intents: Specified intents to ensure the bot can receive the necessary events.

By implementing these changes, your bot should be able to handle voice connections more robustly and avoid common issues such as timeouts and disconnections.

Code:

const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js");
const { joinVoiceChannel, createAudioPlayer, createAudioResource, AudioPlayerStatus, VoiceConnectionStatus, entersState } = require("@discordjs/voice");

ty for the updated code, but it seems like it throws an error with
throw new Error("Cannot play a resource that has already ended.");
