setting syncFullHistory: false in makeWASocket and waited for 30 seconds before sending a first message resolved my issue.

  setTimeout(async () => {
    const jid = '919912345678@s.whatsapp.net';

    await socket.presenceSubscribe(jid);
    await delay(500);
  
    await socket.sendPresenceUpdate('composing', jid);
    await delay(2000);
  
    await socket.sendPresenceUpdate('paused', jid);
    await socket.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'Hello from Whatsapp' });
  }, 30000);

Nada que hacer, la solución es simplemente reiniciar la conexión del socket.

¿Cómo manejamos el reinicio con el error 428?

This happens when you spend hours without receiving any events, for example: without receiving messages for a long time
