Making the bot stop sending messages if a user hasn't sent a message within x minutes

I have a !trivia command which has 4 functions and inside the functions I have a .then() function and .setTimeout(). The problem is that once someone triggers the command, it will only stop once someone say '!stop'. How can I make it so it stops if no one typed in that channel within 5 minutes?

A quick google will pull up this: stackoverflow.com/questions/14249506/… I would suggest using an asynchronous function or your bot will stop, but it should otherwise be the same. idownvotedbecau.se/noresearch

Use .awaitMessages()
let userUsingTheCommand = "<USER_ID>";
let filter = msg => msg.author.id = userUsingTheCommand;
// Errors: ['time'] treats ending because of the time limit as an error
function wait() {
channel.awaitMessages(filter, {
max: 1,
time: 60000 * 5,
errors: ['time']
})
.then(wait)
.catch(() => {
console.log("Time to stop!");
});
}
