https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-prepare.html

"Prepared statements only last for the duration of the current database 
session. When the session ends, the prepared statement is forgotten, so 
it must be recreated before being used again. This also means that a 
single prepared statement cannot be used by multiple simultaneous 
database clients; however, each client can create their own prepared 
statement to use. Prepared statements can be manually cleaned up using 
the DEALLOCATE command."


Dropped connections could be an issue per above. You might also explore 
the other conditions in the above.

I'm guessing not, you will need to issue the PREPARE again per the error 
message:

"Prepared statement needs to be re-prepared"
