.setTimeout() inside for loop to update data (mongoDB)

I'm trying to make the "Bee" to sleep for 5 seconds when it's energy becomes 0, then it'll regains back it's all stats. However, it's stats has became 0 after the command is executed, but after 5 seconds it wouldn't regain back the stats. Any idea how to fix it?

// some codes above (unrelated)
Hive.findOne({ User: message.author.id }, async (err, data) => {
    // some codes here (unrelated)
    const arr = [];
    const en = Object.keys(data.Hives).map((key) => {
        return data.Hives[key].Energy
    })
    for (let a = 1; a < en.length + 1; a++) {
        if (!isNaN(data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy)) {
            data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy -= 1
            if (data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy < 1) {
                arr.push(` Your ${data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Bee} is out of energy! It's going to sleep.`);
                data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Gathers = 0;
                data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Converts = 0;
                // --- where the problem begins ---
                setTimeout(async() => {
                    data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy = data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].MaxEnergy;
                    data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Gathers = 2.5 * (1 + 0.1 * (data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Level - 1));
                    data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Converts = (80 * (1 + 0.1 * (2 - 1)) * statsProfile.ConvertRate) / 100;
                }, 5000);
            // --- where the problem ends ---
            };
        };
    };
    if (arr.length != 0) {
        message.reply({
            embeds: [
                new Discord.MessageEmbed()
                    .setTitle("Out of energy...")
                    .setDescription(arr.join(`\n`))
                    .setColor("ffbe42"),
            ],
        });
    }
    //some codes here as well (unrelated)

    await Hive.findOneAndUpdate(user, data);
});

I've tried putting await data.save() inside and before .setTimeout()

setTimeout is only for delaying the execution of the command. Instead of setTimeout, use setInterval. Then use another function to loop it every 5 seconds.

Here's how I do about the looping function:

function loop() { //added the function for looping
   Hive.findOne({ User: message.author.id }, async (err, data) => {
    // some codes here (unrelated)
    const arr = [];
    const en = Object.keys(data.Hives).map((key) => {
        return data.Hives[key].Energy
    })
    for (let a = 1; a < en.length + 1; a++) {
        if (!isNaN(data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy)) {
            data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy -= 1
            if (data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy < 1) {
                arr.push(` Your ${data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Bee} is out of energy! It's going to sleep.`);
                data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Gathers = 0;
                data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Converts = 0;
                // --- where the problem begins ---
                /*setTimeout(async() => {
                    data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Energy = data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].MaxEnergy;
                    data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Gathers = 2.5 * (1 + 0.1 * (data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Level - 1));
                    data.Hives[`Hive${a}`].Converts = (80 * (1 + 0.1 * (2 - 1)) * statsProfile.ConvertRate) / 100;
                }, 5000);*/
            // --- where the problem ends ---
            };
        };
    };
    if (arr.length != 0) {
        message.reply({
            embeds: [
                new Discord.MessageEmbed()
                    .setTitle("Out of energy...")
                    .setDescription(arr.join(`\n`))
                    .setColor("ffbe42"),
            ],
        });
    }
    //some codes here as well (unrelated)

     await Hive.findOneAndUpdate(user, data);
  });
}

/* Here's when calling the function */
setInterval(() => {
   loop();
}, 5000)

I commented the setTimeout so there's no delay on executing the command, so every 5 seconds the loop() function will execute.
