vscode debugger wont connect to awaiting debugger

Question

I am working on aws project. i am using the following configuration to start the debug process sam local start-api -d 5858

when i trigger a lambda from postman, i see that the triggered corresponding lambda starts and it waits for debugger to be attached.

When i attach using what i defined in my launch.json the debugger attempts to start and crashes. the debug session still waits for debugger to connect to it.

debugger crashes and waits to be connected to (this is after 3 crashes)

my launch.json

        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Attach to helloworld-get",
            "port": 5858,

My question is why isn't the debugger not able to connect to the running app that is waiting to be connected to at ws://0.0.0.0:5858/23bb5c37-92ee-4eae-9554-60b266c099d8
