How can I fix the websocket limits for `Connection duration for WebSocket API: 2 hours`

I am using API Gateway websocket connection and I have read this limits:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/limits.html

It says the Connection duration for WebSocket API limits is 2 hours. Does this mean I can't keep the connection connected for more than 2 hours? If yes, what is the workaround for that? Should I have to re-establish the connection every 2 hours in order to keep it connected?

I resolved this issue by implementing reconnection mechanism from client. Client simply reconnects to the server once the connection is dropped by API gateway after 2 hours. Found this as a recommended solution at multiple places.
