Why is autoplay not working in Swiper for react js?

Question

I'm building a autoplay swiper for my project-cards which gets paused on mouse hover. The swiper functionality is working fine but the autoplay is not working.

Imports:

import Swiper from "swiper";
import 'swiper/css';

useEffect(() => {
        const swiper = new Swiper(".swiper", {
            
            direction: "horizontal",
            loop: false,
            speed: 1500,
            slidesPerView: 4,
            spaceBetween: 60,
            mousewheel: true,
            parallax: true,
            centeredSlides: true,
            effect: "coverflow",
            coverflowEffect: {
                rotate: 40,
                slideShadows: true
            },
            autoplay: {
                delay: 2000,
                pauseOnMouseEnter: true
            },
            scrollbar: {
                el: ".swiper-scrollbar"
            },
            breakpoints: {
                0: {
                    slidesPerView: 1,
                    spaceBetween: 60
                },
                600: {
                    slidesPerView: 2,
                    spaceBetween: 60
                },
                1000: {
                    slidesPerView: 3,
                    spaceBetween: 60
                },
                1400: {
                    slidesPerView: 4,
                    spaceBetween: 60
                },
                2300: {
                    slidesPerView: 5,
                    spaceBetween: 60
                },
                2900: {
                    slidesPerView: 6,
                    spaceBetween: 60
                }
            }
        });
    
        // Cleanup
        return () => {
            swiper.destroy();
        };
    }, []);

Can you please help me with my problem
