setTimeout js and voice channel discordjs

Question

First of All I'm sorry for my bad English. I'm working on a discord music bot, I wanna add a feature to make the bot stay for 30seconds before it disconnect from the voice channel (when idle = all music ended nothing to play more)

async function play(guild, song) {
    const serverQueue = queue.get(guild.id);
    if (!song) {
        setTimeout(function() {serverQueue.voiceChannel.leave();}, 30000);
        queue.delete(guild.id);
        return;
    }
    console.log(serverQueue.songs);
    const dispatcher = serverQueue.connection.playOpusStream(await ytdl(song.url))
        .on('end', reason => {
            console.log(reason)
            serverQueue.songs.shift()
            play(guild, serverQueue.songs[0])
        })
        .on('error', error => console.error(error));
    serverQueue.textChannel.send(`\`\`\`Start playing : ${song.title}\`\`\``);
}

but i want to make it disconnect immediately from the voice channel and End everything, when "stop" command used

else if (command === 'play') {

    const voiceChannel = message.member.voiceChannel;
    ...
}
else if (command === 'stop') {
    if (!message.member.voiceChannel) return message.channel.send("you are not in a voice channel")
    if (!serverQueue) return message.channel.send("nothing to stop!")
    serverQueue.songs = []
    serverQueue.connection.dispatcher.end();

    serverQueue.voiceChannel.leave();

    return undefined;
}
else if (command === 'next') {
    if (!message.member.voiceChannel) return message.channel.send("you are not in a voice channel")
    if (!serverQueue) return message.channel.send("nothing!")
    serverQueue.connection.dispatcher.end();
    message.channel.send("```Next music!```");
    return undefined;
}

When it end from playing a piece of music it wait 30 seconds, and disconnect, Ok! BUT The problem is : if anyone used 'play' command when waiting for that 30s, it play his music track but it cut everything after 30s (even if the second track didn't end)

You will want to assign the setTimeout to a variable. Then use the clearTimeout function when you play again. To cancel the serverQueue.voiceChannel.leave().

The docs explain how to use it here
