Description

I'm a newbie,
I've noticed that pm2's cluster mode keeps restarting several processes (the log keeps printing the start command)

I made a call to a third-party API in my project. After successful call I used setTimeout or setInterval to get the result. So if the process is restarted, will my setTimeout/setInterval be gone?

Research direction

This question names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking PM2's cluster-mode restart behavior and Node.js timer lifecycle; done would be a clear answer explaining whether a worker restart loses its setTimeout/setInterval state.
